Nominations Open for Honorary Degrees

January 12, 2026

Twice each year, FGCU’s Honorary Degree Committee accepts nominations for honorary degrees to be granted to individuals whose significant achievements are in concert with the mission of the institution. Honorary degrees may be at the graduate or bachelor’s level.

Students, faculty and staff are invited to submit nominations for this honor and should review the honorary degree nomination requirements outlined in FGCU Regulation 3.002.

The deadline for nominations for spring commencement is February 1.

Questions and nominations should be directed to committee chair Dawn Kirby, associate provost of Academic Programs and Curriculum Development, at dkirby@fgcu.edu.
