Campus Awards

Honorary Degrees 

The University of Michigan Board of Regents conferred the honorary doctoral degrees listed below. Degrees were bestowed at UM-Dearborn commencement ceremonies. 

Distinguished Leadership Awards

The University of Michigan-Dearborn recognizes and honors individuals who have made a significant contribution to the welfare and development of the University of Michigan-Dearborn for an extended period of time. The contribution may be service to the campus, financial support, political support, or any combination of these, or any other activity judged to be a significant contribution by a recommending panel.

Any person not employed by the University of Michigan or serving in a governing capacity to the University is eligible to receive the award, provided the association with and contributions to the University of Michigan-Dearborn cover an extended period of time. Scholarly achievement and eminence are not bases for the award. Preference will be given to residents of southeastern Michigan, but will not be restricted to this group. The recipient must be present to receive the award, but he or she does not have to be a principal in the UM-Dearborn commencement exercises.

Any member of the UM-Dearborn community may nominate someone for the award.  Nominations will be sent forward to be evaluated by the campus’ Honorary Degree Committee.  Senior officers will review recommendation(s) and the chancellor will make the decision.

Distinguished Career Metropolitan Impact Award

The Distinguished Career Metropolitan Impact Award recognizes and honors a UM-Dearborn faculty or staff member who has made an exceptional career-long contribution to the improvement of life in southeastern Michigan.

Any member of the UM-Dearborn community may nominate someone for the award.  Nominations will be sent forward to be evaluated by the campus’ Honorary Degree Committee.  Senior officers will review recommendation(s) and the chancellor will make the decision.
