University Seeks Nominations for Honorary Doctor's Degree
Deadline for Nominations: September 30, 2008
Missouri State University is seeking nominations for the university's annual honorary doctorate. The individual honored should have a strong tie to this community, state or region. Although individuals with nationwide and worldwide recognition should not be excluded, preference should be given to distinguished candidates who have not been widely recognized and honored.
Current members of the Missouri State staff, faculty, administration and the Board of Governors, as well as elected officials currently in office, are not eligible. Financial considerations should not be part of the selection process.
All nominations are kept confidential and should include a formal letter of nomination, providing a detailed rationale about the nominee’s qualifications, including education, publications and community service as appropriate. The letter and supporting documentation should be sent to Dr. Paula Kemp, Honorary Doctorate Committee chair, Missouri State University Department of Mathematics, 901 S. National, Springfield, Mo. 65897.
For more information, contact: Dr. Paula Kemp at (417) 836-5932
