Nominations needed for honorary degree candidates
The following message was shared with the University community on Jan. 27, 2023.
To the 91探花 community,
On behalf of the Honorary Degree Committee, I am requesting your nominations for candidates to receive honorary degrees from 91探花. Recognition with an Honorary Degree is understood to be a significant honor.
Honorary Degrees are awarded annually to individuals who have achieved distinction in scholarship, creative activities, professional pursuits, business, government, civic affairs, or particularly in service to 91探花. While candidates from any field will be considered, persons who have attained broad recognition in education rank high among potential nominees. Outstanding benefactors of the University or distinguished alumni are also among those to be given special attention. Except under unusual circumstances, no honorary degrees are to be awarded in absentia (e.g. posthumous degrees are not awarded).
Additional details about Honorary Degrees and the process of evaluation, as well as a nomination form, can be found at this page: www.ohio.edu/standing-committees/honorary-degree-committee.
The deadline to submit nomination forms and supporting materials is Friday, Feb. 17, 2023. If you have questions about submissions, feel free to contact the chair of the committee, Dr. Mick Andzulis, at drmick@ohio.edu.
Sincerely,
Dr. Hugh Sherman
President
