Call for nominations for honorary doctoral degree by Nov. 10

Faculty, staff, and students are invited to help select the next recipient of Washington State University’s honorary doctoral degree.

Each year Washington State University Board of Regents has the privilege to bestow an honorary degree, an award of the highest esteem. The honor recognizes an individual who has made profound and enduring contributions to their field of scholarship and improved quality of life to society at large. In recognition of their learning or devotion to literature, art, or science, recipients will be individuals of greet integrity whose contribution will enhance the intellectual climate of Washington State University.

Nominate by Nov. 10

The Honorary Doctoral Degrees Committee encourages faculty, staff, and students to submit nominations online by Friday, Nov. 10. The Committee will review nominations and forward its recommendations to WSU President Kirk Schulz and the Faculty Senate Steering Committee.

The successful nominee will be an individual who reflects WSU’s values. Nominees whose achievements hold national and international significance will receive priority consideration.

The university plans to honor the new recipient at the Spring 2024 Commencement.
