It's not too late to nominate honorary degree recipients for Convocation 2026!
The 17吃瓜 invites the nomination of candidates for honorary degrees to be conferred at Convocation in May 2026.
Honorary degrees are conferred honoris causa, 鈥渇or the sake of honour,鈥� 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鈥檚 highest honour.
A list of all those who have received honorary degrees from 17吃瓜, Saint Dunstan's University, and Prince of Wales College can be viewed on the 17吃瓜 website.
Nominations can be made online or a form can be downloaded at upei.ca/nominatehdr. The deadline for nominations for 2026 candidates is Monday, January 12, 2026, by 11:59 pm. For more information, email senate@upei.ca.
