Nominations sought for honorary degree

LAWRENCE - The University of Kansas awards honorary degrees to exceptional persons of notable intellectual, scholarly, professional, or creative achievement, or service to humanity. A candidate’s qualifications must be deeply grounded in a career of scholarship, research, creative activity, service to humanity, or other profession consistent with the academic endeavors of the University.

Confidentiality is crucial to the nomination process to protect the nominee from disappointment and embarrassment. The nominee must not be informed of her or his nomination; proposers must not seek outside letters in support of the nomination. Following an initial review of all nominations, the committee may request additional information from proposers in support of nominees selected for further consideration.
