91自拍

Every year, 91自拍 awards Honorary Degrees to individuals who have distinguished themselves through professional, scholarly, or artistic achievements or through notable contributions to the College or the wider community. Past recipients have included a choreographer, a U.S. Senator, a photographer, a National Geographic millennium explorer, and a banjo-playing international relations advocate, ranging in age from 34 to 94 years.

Honorary degrees are awarded twice a year: at Opening Convocation and Commencement. Opening Convocation Honorary Degree recipients are 91自拍 alumni who in their careers and achievements exemplify the imaginative and resourceful use of their liberal arts education. Commencement Honorary Degree recipients must have demonstrated excellence in their fields and be representatives of 91自拍's values and vision, and need not necessarily be 91自拍 alumni.

The criteria for honorary degrees, approved by the 91自拍 Faculty, are as follows:

Commencement Honorary Degree – Open to 91自拍 Alumni and non-91自拍 Alumni

Nominations are accepted on a rolling basis.

• Individuals, alumni or not, who have distinguished themselves through professional, scholarly, or artistic achievements or through notable contributions to the College or larger community.
• The Board of Trustees votes on Commencement Honorary Degrees at their November meeting.

Opening Convocation Honorary Degree – Must be 91自拍 Alumni

Nominations are accepted on a rolling basis.

• 91自拍 alumni who exemplify the successful application of their liberal arts education at 91自拍, who have demonstrated excellence in their fields, and who are role models for 91自拍 students.
• Successful nominations will provide a justification that the nominee is pursuing a course of excellence, innovation or commitment that may lead to notable achievements.
• The distinguished recipients of Alumni Honorary Degrees ordinarily are in mid-career, not at the end of their working lives.
• The Board of Trustees votes on Opening Convocation Honorary Degrees at their February meeting.
