Honorary Degree
Recipients |

It is a custom at AUP to confer honorary degrees on
scholars or other prominent personalities as a way
of recognizing a distinguished person’s
contributions to a specific field, or to society in
general. Very often an honorary degree is offered to
signal a recipient’s contributions in areas that
align with the University’s mission and core values. |
