Meredith Harper Bonham, assistant to the president and secretary to the Board of Trustees, wrote an article for the latest issue of Trusteeship magazine. In "Awarding Honorary Degrees: Holding a Mirror up to the Institution," Bonham writes, "Conferring honorary degrees is a significant act, not only for what it says about a college or university, but also for the context it provides for the degrees conferred simultaneously on the members of a graduating class. The choice of recipients becomes an important part of an institution's self-definition and can reflect in fundamental ways the institution's mission."
