Honorary Degree Committee

St. Francis Xavier University seeks to honour individuals whose accomplishments and achievements demonstrate a standard of excellence that will inspire our graduates and the university community and will reflect favourably on the public reputation of the University. The awarding of an honorary degree honours both the individual and the University and contributes to the recognition and celebration of excellence in society in a manner that reflects the University’s character and values within the community and the world.

The Honorary Degree Committee does not generate names of potential candidates from within but rather receives nominations from members of the University community, broadly defined.
 
All nominations must be made in writing and may be submitted via email to the Chair of the Honorary Degree Committee (hondegchair@stfx.ca).
 
The criteria and nomination procedure is explained in the terms of reference for the Honorary Degree Committee.
