Committees have been formed at each campus to generate suggestions for honorary degree candidates for the 2004 Commencement.

Students, faculty and administrators will work with Art Petrosemolo, associate vice president of communications and marketing (Metro), to identify individuals in the arts, government, sports, entertainment, etc., who have a global reputation mirroring the University’s mission. The committees are reaching out through e-mail list serves, student newspapers, faculty, the alumni board and department meetings for potential honorary degree recipients.

Because all honorary degree recipients need the Board of Trustees’ approval, the committees plan to prioritize the list by September for board approval and then begin the process of making contacts. The University community is urged to contact committee members with suggestions.

Committee members include, at the Metropolitan Campus: David Epstein, chief of staff, office of the president; Ronald Dumont, psychology and director, PsyD and MA programs in psychology; Vicki Cohen, education; deputy director, education; and program coordinator, instructional technology certificate program; Albert Schielke, associate dean, University College; Ruben Flores, assistant director, residence life; Dennis Uhlman, student; and Nadine Hammes, student; and at the College at Florham: Harry Keyishian, English and director, editorial committee, FDU Press; Diane Sommerville, history; Marilyn Rye, assistant provost; Cherisna Jean-Marie, resident director, residence life; Mark Bullock, student; and Lauren Blizzard, student.
