The President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Regina, Dr. Vianne Timmons, is an honorary degree recipient from Mount Allison University. “I was shocked as I did not know I was being considered. Then I was honoured and humbled,” Timmons says. “They have so many people to choose to honour. I am so overwhelmed they selected me,” she adds. Honorary degree recipients are individuals who are nationally or internationally recognized within their fields or those who have demonstrated services to the community, significantly affecting the University and/or the region.
