Each year Haverford College awards honorary degrees to individuals who have distinguished themselves in letters, the sciences, or the arts. Recipients are customarily announced in the spring months preceding Commencement. Many honorees are noted for their contributions to the overall betterment of humankind and/or Haverford College.
The College will honor a Class of '64 alumnus and an education and civil rights icon for service to humanity.
UPDATE May 3, 2023: Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jon Kabat-Zinn '64 — one of our two honorary degree recipients — is unable to attend the ceremony.
