[PC-12] Invitation to Submit Honorary Degree Nominations

A message from Father Shanley to the Providence College community:

One of the highlights of each academic year is the College’s Commencement ceremony. This is the final memory our students will hold of Providence College and we endeavor to make it a meaningful one. One of the ways we hope to inspire students is to present honorary degrees to distinguished individuals whose lives of service and achievement reflect the College’s deepest values.

We have a particular interest in identifying Providence College alumni and alumnae whose lives and accomplishments embody the mission and values of the College – men and women who truly have “transformed society.” We also are committed to recognizing eminent scholars whose teaching, research, and writing have made significant contributions that advance knowledge in their chosen fields of study. It is always gratifying to honor outstanding donors whose generosity of spirit and resources has made a lasting impact on the College’s ability to provide an exceptional educational experience for its students.

The Honorary Degree Committee is grateful to receive nominations from all who have an affinity with Providence College. I invite and encourage anyone who knows a worthy candidate for an honorary degree to submit that name for consideration to the chair of the Honorary Degree Committee: Patricia S. Vieira, associate vice president for college relations and planning, at pvieira@providence.edu.

Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P.
