Each year, 性奴调教 seeks applicants for the student speaker at both the midyear and May commencement ceremonies. In addition, the University welcomes nominations for the spring commencement speaker, as well as candidates to be considered to receive honorary degrees.
Members of the 性奴调教 community - faculty, students, staff, alumni and benefactors - are invited to nominate worthy individuals to receive honorary degrees.
Confidentiality is a requested and required part of the nomination process. The nominee should not be informed of his or her nomination because not all excellent candidates can be recognized, and knowledge of a failed nomination can be embarrassing and hurtful.
