University Seeks Honorary Degree Nominations for Commencement

Members of the university community are encouraged to participate in the nomination process for honorary degree recipients at future commencements. Nominees must be distinguished individuals who have reached preeminent levels of distinction in their fields, and who have made extraordinary contributions to society. They must represent prominent fields and values of Carnegie Mellon, particularly those that support the arts, humanities, and science and technology. They should have connections to the university (i.e. alumni, former faculty, friends or collaborators) and represent diversity and the university culture.

Nomination forms can be accessed and submitted online at http://www.cmu.edu/advancement/honorary/onlineform.html. By using the online form, nominations will be sent to University Professor Emeritus Guy Berry, head of the Honorary Degree Selection Committee. The deadline for nominations is Oct. 31.
