It’s that time of year again: nominations are open for UFV honorary doctorates for 2026.
The honorary doctorate degree is the highest form of recognition offered by UFV. We have a wonderful legacy of distinguished recipients whose achievements we are honoured to profile and celebrate. These awards are an excellent way to raise the profile of your department and to connect prominent leaders with students in their field.
Please consider submitting a nomination for this honour and keep the nomination strictly confidential from the nominee. You may wish to consult with other colleagues as joint submissions are welcomed. Please visit our website to learn more about the honorary doctorate process, read the Honorary Doctorate Degrees policy, and submit your nomination online.
Nominations are accepted year-round and brought forth each fall. For consideration for the 2026 convocation, nominations are recommended to be submitted by December 15, 2025.
