Thank You Address by Professor Marilyn Cochran-Smith

It is a privilege to provide brief remarks on behalf of myself and the other honorary doctorates conferred this year by the University. I know I speak for all four of us when I say we are greatly honoured – and humbled – to receive this recognition. The four of us represent different areas of expertise and professional experience, and thus we have made quite different contributions to our fields and to society.

Despite our very different backgrounds and experiences, one thing we share is admiration for the University’s mission to prepare outstanding and caring educators and professionals.
