February 16, 1995: Vol26n17: Call for Nominations:

T such as public affairs, the sciences, the arts and humanities,
education, business, philanthropy and social services. An honorary
degree candidate may enjoy national or international prominence in one
of more of these areas, or may have given outstanding service to the
university, the state, the nation or humanity at large. All nominees
should be persons whose lives exemplify the university's aspirations
for its students and whose accomplishments are widely recognized by
leaders in their respective fields of endeavor.

Why the honorary degree?
The university wishes to make public its support for activities and
accomplishments that represent its own highest ideals and that are
consistent with its missions, especially the celebration of human
achievement and humane values. By giving such prominent recognition
and visibility to outstanding individuals, UB hopes to develop
valuable bonds of respect, interest and friendship with the honorees,
and thereby encompass within the university community some of the
finest exemplars of achievement and service in the world today.
