Honorary degree recipients
Along with the newest cohort of fall graduates crossing the stage, Memorial will confer the degree of doctor of letters, honoris causa, upon Maestro Marc David for his dedication to music communities, students, musicians and audiences.
Honorary degree recipients are chosen from nominations submitted by the public to the senate, the university’s academic governing body, after a careful examination of the grounds for their nomination. The honorary doctorate degree is designed to recognize extraordinary contribution to society or the university or exceptional intellectual or artistic achievement.
Professor emeritus
In addition, a distinguished retired faculty member who was recently accorded the title professor emeritus by the university’s senate will be recognized at fall convocation.
Dr. Amarjit Singh of the Faculty of Education will be honoured.
The distinction professor emeritus/emerita is open only to retired members of the faculty. To be eligible, a person must have served at least 10 years as a regular full-time faculty member at Memorial and must have held the rank of professor upon retirement. The prime criteria for nomination are sustained, outstanding scholarly work and/or service to the university.
