Honorary Degree Nominations
Honorary degrees have been one of the highest honors conferred by universities dating back to the 15th century. They are a way for universities to demonstrate to the community what their values are and what is important to them.
Honorary degrees are a means to recognize experts in indigenous knowledge and/or distinguished individuals who made significant contributions to the University and knowledge of the community over an extended period of time or lifetime achievements in their field, or whose outstanding personal or professional endeavors complement the University’s role and mission over an extended period of time, or lifetime achievements.
Candidates must be viewed by the university community as unique, recognizable figures whose public recognition brings honor on the University. Successful candidates are deemed to embody the values and culture our University is looking to foster and uphold and show a high order of significant or lasting achievements or contributions over time or over a lifetime of achievements.
The University of Guam Board of Regents is accepting nominations for honorary degree candidates for the Fañomnåkan 2023 semester.
