The Vice-Chancellor invites nominations for Honorary Doctorates for 2009 and subsequent years. Nominations will be considered initially by the University Council's Honorary Degree Committee, and must be received by 31 August 2008. They should be made in confidence, and will be treated confidentially by the Committee. It is helpful if the broad support of a Faculty, Department or College is evident from a letter of nomination; multiple letters of support are not necessary.
The names of those approved for conferment of Honorary Degrees in 2008 appears on p. 630; a list of Honorary Degrees conferred since 1977 is available online (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/degrees/honorary/).
Suggestions may be made by email to v-c@admin.cam.ac.uk, or by writing to the Vice-Chancellor, University Offices, Trinity Lane. Informal advice may be sought from the Secretary of the Committee, Mr Matthew Moss, in the Vice-Chancellor's Office, by letter or by email to mnhm2@admin.cam.ac.uk.
