Honorary Degrees nominations
Members of the University are invited to submit names for consideration by the Committee on Honorary Degrees when it meets in the autumn.
The criteria specify that
honorary degrees may be awarded to individuals of real achievement and eminence
in their respective fields, individuals who are distinguished by excellence,
originality and the capacity to excite.
It is expected that the list of honorary graduates in any
year will reflect the breadth of the University’s activities and interests, and
in particular the local, national and international dimensions to its work as well
as the University’s values.
Nominations should reach Jenny Birkinshaw
(j.birkinshaw@leeds.ac.uk) in the Secretariat by Friday 5 September 2014. In general, the Committee would expect a
nomination to be contained within a supporting statement of up to one side of
A4 (typescript), addressing the criteria set out above.
