Honorary Degree Committee: Notice

The Vice-Chancellor invites nominations for Honorary Doctorates. Nominations should be made in confidence, and will be treated confidentially by the University Council's Honorary Degree Committee. It is helpful if the broad support of a Faculty, Department, or College is evident from a letter of nomination, though multiple letters of support are not necessary.

Nominations may be made at any time, but those received by 30 September 2009 will be considered at the Michaelmas 2009 meeting of the Honorary Degree Committee, for conferment in 2011.

The names of those receiving Honorary Doctorates in 2009, and the orations, appeared in Reporter, p. 923; a list of Honorary Degrees conferred since 1977 is available online at 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: email mnhm2@admin.cam.ac.uk.
