However, a nomination to the committee does not guarantee selection or approval. <em>Honorary degree nominations for sitting faculty, trustees, or staff will not be considered. <\/em>We strongly encourage you to provide details for each section of the nomination form to ensure the review committee has thorough information to evaluate your nominee.<\/p>\n<h3>Commencement Speakers<\/h3>\n<p>We also welcome nominations for commencement speakers. It is college practice that individuals delivering the commencement address also receive honorary degrees; therefore, nominations for commencement speakers follow the honorary degree nomination process. Occasionally, an individual not being conferred an honorary degree may serve as the commencement speaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We invite all members of the Trinity community to submit nominations for Commencement 2027.
