The University of Prince Edward Island invites the nomination of candidates for honorary degrees to be conferred at Convocation in May 2025.

Honorary degrees are conferred honoris causa, “for the sake of honour,” and are intended to recognize outstanding provincial, national, and international contributions in any field of endeavour. Contributions should reflect extraordinary intellectual or artistic achievements, or significant service to society at a standard of excellence that merits the University’s highest honour.

Nominations can be made online, or a form can be downloaded at upei.ca/nominatehdr. The deadline for nominations for 2025 candidates is Monday, February 17, 2025, by 11:59 pm. For more information, email senate@upei.ca.
