Dr. Tom Heffernan has recently learned that he has been chosen to receive an
honorary doctor of laws degree from Manhattan College at the 2008
commencement ceremony. Manhattan College is an excellent liberal arts
college in New York City and it is Dr. Heffernan's Alma Mater. He has been
asked to speak at the Honors Commencement ceremony. In informing him of the
award, Manhattan’s Provost, Dr. Weldon Jackson, praised Dr. Heffernan for
his “record of high achievement coupled with the highest standards of
integrity.” The honorary doctorate will be bestowed next fall at the
college’s Honors Ceremony, where Dr. Heffernan will deliver the Convocation
Address.
