Honorary Degree Nominations

Honorary Degree Nominations are open through November 1 for the 2024–25 academic year

The Academic Senate seeks nominations for honorary degree candidates. Nominated candidates are evaluated by the Board Academic Affairs Committee, and, if approved by the Committee, candidates remain in the approved candidate pool for up to three years. The honorary degree policy and a list of previous awards are available.
  
It is strongly recommended that each group put forward a diverse group of nominees (race, gender, ethnicity, etc.) to ensure that we honor candidates from a global perspective, as well as nominees reflecting the diversity of creative practices.
  
Please make sure not to approach or inform any nominees directly. Institutional Advancement will approach nominees should they be approved as candidates by the Board. Candidates nominated and approved this year may be considered during any of the three succeeding years, so you are nominating individuals for the pool, not necessarily for receipt of a degree this year.

All Senate constituents (faculty, chairs, assistant chairs, teaching staff) are eligible to nominate by filling out the nomination form by Friday, November 1, 2024 at 5:00pm. 

Please include:

• name
• rationales for selection
• links to key online information regarding each nominee (e.g., bio, vita, nominee website, etc.)

The Senate will elect up to six nominees for consideration by the Board Academic Affairs Committee. Please contact senate@pratt.edu with questions about these positions or nominations.
