Presidential Citation

Presidential Citation

The Presidential Citation program was established to recognize the extraordinary contributions of individuals who personify the university's commitment to the task of transforming lives. The university does not award honorary degrees, and these citations are designed to salute persons whose service exemplifies the values shared by the university community. The Presidential Citation honors those who have brought great distinction to the university and helped the institution to achieve its mission. The first Presidential Citations were bestowed on Honors Day in 1979.
