Ithaca College embraces the privilege and opportunity to recognize outstanding leadership, scholarship, and/or personal achievement through the granting of honorary degrees. To safeguard the high character of such a degree and the name of Ithaca College, the candidates should be so distinguished in their own fields that the College, by honoring them, brings credit to itself.
Honorary Degree Advisory Committee

Each representative shall be selected by their unit. Terms are for three years, originally staggered by lot.
