Honorary awards

The University of Sydney confers honorary degrees and awards the title of Honorary Fellow of the University.

How do I write a citation?

Once Senate has approved the recommendations of the Nominations and Appointments Committee with respect to honorary awards, each successful nominator will be asked to prepare a draft citation for finalisation by the Vice-Chancellor and the Chair of the Committee.

The citation is read at the ceremony prior to the conferring of the award.
