UPEI has seen fit to bestow an honourary degree on former Newfoundland and Labrador premier Danny Williams. He will be one of four honourary recipients at the May 7 convocation, and has been invited to deliver a speech to graduates from nursing, education, veterinary programs, and also several business programs – including the university’s first graduating class of MBAs. Williams already holds a degree in political science and economics from Memorial University of Newfoundland as well as a Bachelor of Laws from Dalhousie University. He is a former Rhodes scholar.
