Honorary Degrees and Commemorative Names

From the Office of the President:

Huntington University awards honorary degrees to individuals “who have made a contribution to society by devoting their lives to the public good or by dedicated service to higher education.”

You are invited to assist the Honorary Degrees and Commemorative Names Council by nominating individuals who are worthy of consideration for an honorary degree from Huntington University. You can help by sending the names of one or two Christian scholars, artists, or leaders whom you feel would be deserving of such an honor. Of particular interest are names of women and minority candidates.

A list of the individuals who have received honorary degrees from Huntington University is posted on the HU Portal (Personnel, under Forms and Documents, listed under President’s Office).

In addition, you may also include suggestions for commemorative facilities names on the nomination form. The naming of a facility is one of the highest honors we as a University can bestow upon an individual or family; therefore, we ask that you nominate those who exemplify impeccable Christian standards in their own lives and have inspired others as well.

Please submit nominations HERE by October 30, 2023.

Thank you for your assistance in helping Huntington University recognize distinguished service.
