University Honorary Degree Committee seeks nominations

The university-wide Honorary Degree Committee is soliciting nominations of exemplary persons in the fields of public affairs, the sciences, humanities and the arts, scholarship and education, business and philanthropy, and social services to be considered for an honorary degree from the State University of New York.
