Criteria

The title of Honorary Professor is to be conferred on distinguished individuals who are not members of the academic staff of the University. Individuals nominated shall have a distinguished record in teaching, research and scholarship or in creative activity, and be resident in Manitoba. Although there is no maximum, it is anticipated the number of honorary professors at the University will be limited.

Nominations

Nominations should be submitted to the faculty/school council according to the procedures of the particular faculty/school. All deliberations should be in confidential session. The nominations should be accompanied by supporting material, including a detailed curriculum vitae.

Length of Term

Appointments shall be for five year renewable terms.

Recognition

The conferring of the title honours both the individual and the University. The honour is the most important aspect of the title but honorary professors would be expected to participate from time to time in the activities of a department such as the presentation of lectures.

Other

The terms outlined in this policy do not apply to individuals appointed as honorary professors by the Faculty of Graduate Studies prior to 1969 subsequent to which no new appointments of honorary professors were made.

Further Information

Nominations should be submitted to Mr. Jeff Leclerc, University Secretary, Room 312 Administration Building. Deadline for receipt of nominations is December 31 for consideration by the Committee in January.
