*A Message from Bud Potter - *

Dear Trustees:

I’m emailing you today on behalf of the Honorary Degrees Subcommittee to
ask for your nominations for honorary degree recipients. Per the College’s
bylaws, honorary degrees are given to those who demonstrate “great
distinction” in their field of expertise. Honorary degrees have commonly
been given to those who have experience in the following areas:

--academic;
--the arts;
--business;
--law;
--the media;
--medicine;
--philanthropy;
--politics; or
--social activism.

If you have an individual whom you feel would make an excellent candidate
for an honorary degree, please let Denise know ([email-masked]) by the
end of October. We encourage you to consider the potential for a
longer-term relationship between the nominees and the College and if such
potential exists to include that in their nomination. For nominations,
please include the person’s name, contact information (if known), any
relationship you or others at the College may have with that individual,
and a brief statement indicating why this person of distinction is worthy
of a Knox honorary degree. Please include a link if there is online
information about the candidate.

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing many of you next week at Knox.

Bud
