At the 2015 November graduation ceremonies the University will award nine honorary doctorates – details of those awardees will be made public through September and October on the University’s external website. They are a varied group and this is because nominations are received from across the University. Now is the time to nominate interesting and deserving people for the awards to be made in 2016.
Nominations (from individuals, or from groups within directorates or faculties) should be sent by to Maura Sorensen, preferably by email to m.sorensen@shu.ac.uk or you can send your nomination by internal post to Maura Sorensen, Committee Support Officer, University Secretariat, Floor 2 Oneleven Building, City Campus. If you have any queries either email Maura or call her on extension 4115.
For details of the nomination criteria and process, a nomination form, and a list of previous awardees go to: https://portal.shu.ac.uk/departments/srd/Boards/HAC/Pages/default.aspx. The closing date for nominations for 2016 is Friday 20 November 2015
Nominations will be considered for shortlisting by the Honorary Awards Committee at their first meeting in early December.
