Congratulations to Inglis Professor Stephen Kimber and community leader Russell Grosse, who will receive honorary degrees at the upcoming Installation Ceremony for President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Timothy Vine!

In a message to the King’s community, President Vine writes that “few conversations about the success of the MFA programs at King’s occur without mention of Stephen’s leadership and contributions. His colleagues describe him as principled, generous, and kind, and a writer with whom people share their stories because he is fair, fierce, and dogged in his pursuit of facts. How fortunate King’s has been to have his company and tutelage over the past four decades.”
