A well deserved honor! Bravo to WU for getting it right, and to Roger for his incalcuable contributions to the WU community! XO
Roger, congratulations on the honorary degree of course. But far more so, congratulations for being the brilliantly inspiring professor who added so much to so many students’ lives. And although we know that behind your beard in photo #1 you had movie star looks, you have become more beautiful in every way with every year. Thank you for your genuine goodness, warmth, and respect for all of us. Sylvia Jensen Fewel
