SRD's honorary degree

Post by Relayer »

SRD posted this today:
To my vast astonishment, the University of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland, has just announced a desire to offer me an honorary degree, Doctor of Letters, in June 2009. I sure hope nothing goes wrong!
Congratulations!!

I look forward to hearing about why StA chose SRD for this honor. (Not that I don't think there's a good reason, more like wondering which good reason is it.)

The confirment will take place as part of the University's graduation ceremonies on June 25, 2009, at 10:30am in Younger Hall. I'm delighted.
