Honorary degree recipients

Along with the newest cohort of fall graduates crossing the stage, Memorial will confer the degree of doctor of laws, honoris causa, upon Dr. C. Carney Strange. Dr. Strange is recognized as a thought-leader in campus ecology, student development and inclusive services.

Honorary degree recipients are chosen from nominations submitted by the public to the senate, the university’s academic governing body. The honorary doctorate degree is designed to recognize extraordinary contributions to society or the university or exceptional intellectual or artistic achievement.
