Jack Morris OBE receives honorary degree
Last Friday, City and Islington College’s Chair of Governors,
Jack Morris OBE, was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of
Science from City University London.
Jack received the honorary doctorate at a graduation ceremony at
Southwark Cathedral, for his services to education in Islington. He
is Chair of Governors of City and Islington College.
Jack comments, “I am absolutely delighted to be receiving this
honour and warmly thank City University London for awarding me this
honour. I particularly appreciate the further recognition it has
brought to City and Islington College by acknowledging the
marvellous work they do in delivering world-class education and
training to students from Islington and beyond. My whole family are
also delighted for me, particularly my mother-in-law who always
hoped her daughter would marry a doctor!”
This prestigious distinction follows Jack’s dedication to
further education previously being recognised in the Queen’s
Birthday Honours 2005 when he was made an OBE.
Jack is Chairman of the Business Design Centre and his passion
for the community and his promotion of education has seen him made
an Honorary Freeperson of the London Borough of Islington, a Fellow
of the Royal Society of Arts, and has led him to get involved in
many voluntary and charitable activities. He became a Governor of
City and Islington College in 1992 and our Chair of Governors four
years later.
