Potential nominees should meet one or more of the following criteria:<br \/>\n<UL><LI>Distinguished service to UNMC or the university;<br \/>\n<LI>Distinguished service to the state;<br \/>\n<LI>Graduates, former students or former employees who have achieved high distinction;<br \/>\n<LI>Persons of high distinction and distinguished achievement.<\/UL><\/p>\n<p>Potential candidates need not necessarily have a former connection to UNMC or the State of Nebraska. Although potential candidates for honorary degrees from UNMC would be likely to have made contributions in the areas of health and health science, contributions need not be limited to these areas. <\/p>\n<p>Recipients of honorary degrees must be able to attend the UNMC Commencement. The chancellor&#8217;s office will fund travel and expenses for the recipient, as well as host a small dinner party for the recipient. The recipient also maybe invited by the nominating department to give a presentation on the Friday preceding the commencement exercises. <\/p>\n<p>Names of nominees may be forwarded to the Faculty Senate Office, Room 2021, Academic Research and Services Building, ZIP 7820, with one to two supporting paragraphs outlining the nominees qualifications and contributions. <\/p>\n<p>Other information supporting the nomination (i.e., detailed curriculum vitae, letters of support, etc.) will be collected as necessary with the assistance of the Department of Public Relations. Nominations are due at the Faculty Senate Office no later than May 30.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"lilVhXxS\"><!-- lilVhXxS
