The Honorary Member of the University designation is the highest honour a staff member can obtain at the University of Waterloo and is granted on retirement. It recognizes the individual for outstanding service to the University as a whole, not limited to one department or faculty. For faculty members, it recognizes distinctive administrative service to the University.
Congratulations!
