A copy of the nominee’s vita or resume, or a list of the candidate’s professional history and contributions, must be included. If appropriate, include additional information, such as letters of support or writings that attest to the eminence of the candidate. Each nomination should be limited to eight pages.
The Senate Committee on Honorary Degrees will review all nominations and recommend final candidates to the full Senate, which will make the final decision. If feasible for the candidate and appropriate for the program area, honorary degree recipients will be invited to present colloquia on Friday of Commencement Weekend.
