Dear York College Community,
I am excited to announce that York College has established a formal process for awarding honorary degrees, an important way for us to recognize outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions in their fields, demonstrated exceptional leadership, or positively impacted York College and our broader community.
In the coming days, we will invite you to participate in this historic process by submitting nominations for our 2025 Commencement ceremony. All members of the York College community—faculty, staff, students, and alumni—are encouraged to consider nominees who embody our institution's values and mission.
Detailed nomination guidelines and submission procedures will be distributed shortly. Your active participation will be vital in building this meaningful tradition.
Thank you to Provost Brazill and Faculty Caucus Chair Donna Chirico for bringing this to fruition and thank you all for being part of what makes York College a place of excellence and inspiration.
