Each year, the University of Strathclyde awards a small number of honorary degrees to people who have made an outstanding contribution to academia and learning, to the university, to society (nationally and/or internationally) or to enterprise or business in their particular field. Honorary degrees are now conferred at the university's regular summer and autumn degree congregations, but were formerly awarded at the annual Commemoration Day ceremony, or at congregations arranged for occasions such as the opening of new buildings on campus.
The registers record each honorary graduate's name, signature, the title of degree conferred, and the date.
Programmes, menus, speeches, correspondence, press cuttings, video recordings and other material relating to the installations of Lord Todd of Trumpington, Lord Tombs of Brailes, Lord Hope of Craighead and Lord Smith of Kelvin as Chancellors of the University of Strathclyde.
The 'Annual Dinner' was established in 2012 and was held in April each year. It replaced the annual Commemoration Day/University Day Congregation.
