Dear Member of the Tulane Community,

This is a call for nominations for candidates for honorary degrees to be awarded at the 2014 commencement.  Nominations submitted by November 1, 2012 will be considered for the May 2014 Commencement.

Honorary degree recipients are individuals who exemplify the university’s commitment to the highest standards of scholarship, creative work or community engagement. In conferring an honorary degree on an individual we not only honor that person, we also put on display what we value as a community. See the specific criteria for honorary degrees.

Please note that nominations must include a formal nomination letter explaining in what ways the nominee meets the selection criteria, a current vitae for the candidate and any other supporting materials the nominator feels should be brought to the Committee's attention.

If the individual you are nominating has a relationship to Tulane, a description of that relationship is always welcome as part of the nomination letter and is appreciated by the committee.

Nominations may be sent to me, Linda Wilson, Chair of Board Committee on Honorary Degrees or Anne Banos, Vice President for Administrative Services.

Sincerely,
Martin Davies
Chair, Senate Committee on University Honors
