Awards
Kylie Minogue to receive honorary degree
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 6 October 2011
Kylie Minogue is to receive an honorary doctorate in Health Sciences from Anglia Ruskin University, in recognition of her work promoting breast cancer awareness. The singer was diagnosed with the disease in 2005 but has since made a full recovery.
Vice Chancellor of Anglia Ruskin University, Professor Michael Thorne, told the BBC: “We make honorary awards to individuals of extraordinary talent who have made an outstanding contribution to their chosen field of endeavour. We hope that the recipients of these honorary awards will serve as examples to our graduates”.
Minogue will accept her award at a ceremony at the university’s Chelmsford campus today.
