Dickinson College's 2019 Commencement exercises begin today at 10 a.m. on the John Dickinson Campus (severe weather location: Kline Athletic Center). The ceremony will be available via livestream.
Actor, producer and environmental activist Pierce Brosnan will deliver the Commencement address. He also will receive a Doctor of Environmental Advocacy honorary degree. Fellow honorary degree recipients are Karen Attiah, global opinions editor for The Washington Post, and Adrian Zecha '52, one of the world’s leading creators and operators of award-winning luxury hotels and resorts.
Additionally, in keeping with a Commencement tradition established in 2012, Dickinson will present The Sam Rose ’58 and Julie Walters Prize at Dickinson College for Global Environmental Activism. This year’s recipient is the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). The award will be accepted by Brosnan—a longtime supporter of the NRDC and winner of its 2015 Forces for Nature Award—and Joel Reynolds, NRDC’s western director and senior attorney.
