  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

  • Proposal for Selection of New Higher Doctorate Academic Dress Scott Pilkington
    Proposal for selection of new higher doctorate academic dress Scott Pilkington October 2019 Executive Summary AUT has recently had approved by CUAP the addition of two higher doctorates (DLitt and DSc) in addition to the suite of current named and other doctorates (PhD, DHSc, and EdD). There is the potential that additional higher doctorates may be created in future (e.g. LLD, DEng). As such, an opportunity is presented to develop new academic dress for these qualifications that sets them apart from the other doctorates being awarded by the university. Following here is an analysis of the historical context and review of other universities, and then the proposal for new doctoral academic dress (regalia) at AUT. Four designs have been proposed, with design D (p37) being recommended by the Graduate Research School for adoption. Costings have been obtained and are provided in appendix 4 (p28). The design recommended blends the styles used for the current doctorates and for the official party to facilitate a design that is sufficiently elevated to recognise the life work of a graduate, without competing with the finery worn by the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor. Degree DLitt DSc Robe Black Cambridge Specialist Doctoral Gown Black Cambridge Specialist Doctoral Gown with sleeves lined in “post office red”; full- with sleeves lined in “post office red”; full- length 100mm damask front facings in length 100mm damask front facings in “post “post office red”; hemmed with 50mm office red”; hemmed with 50mm gold satin; gold satin; and with a button

  • NEWSLETTER – September 2020
    NEWSLETTER Queen’s College Faculty of Theology September 2020 This Newsletter is distributed electronically, it has links to more information on our website www.queenscollegenl.ca Greetings from the Provost We are well into the semester and, thanks to our Leadership Team, faculty members, students, and our Administrative Assistant – Ms Dana Bishop, things are going fairly smooth. We certainly miss some of our regular on-campus activities … especially chapel, common room and outreach ministries. But, we have all grown in discovering our capacities to adapt and engage using technologies. This Newsletter has good information on our Fall 2020 Semester initiatives. Please have a look through the Newsletter and connect with us about anything on which you would like to follow up. I am pleased to inform you that we are making arrangements for Queen’s College Convocation 2020. We are planning for a Convocation at Jack Byrne Arena on Torbay Road, Torbay on November 25 at 7:00 p.m. It is a suitable venue and has been used for other graduations in the past. It can accommodate our numbers within the Public Health COVID-19 regulations. We are working with the management of Jack Byrne Arena to develop the plan and clear directions to ensure safety and contact tracing. We will have more information in our October Newsletter. As we continue in this unusual year, I ask for prayers that we courageously discern and respond to God’s will, and I ask for patience and flexibility as we endeavour to discern how to prepare people for ministry in the world and church in this time of rapid and radical change.

  • Eligibility for Honorary Degrees Persons Who Have Achieved High
    Principles for Awarding Honorary Doctoral Degrees o The awarding of an honorary doctoral degree is a highly public action that brings visibility and distinction to both the recipient and to the University as grantor. It is also among the highest honors the University can confer. This distinction should, therefore, be given only for extraordinary accomplishments and in strict conformity with criteria approved by the Board of Trustees. o Honorary degree recipients share one commonality: Extraordinary distinction. However, the ways in which they demonstrate this distinction, the areas in which they have achieved it, and their geographic locations are likely to be diverse. o That a nominee may be controversial is not, in itself, reason to deny a degree honoris causa to an otherwise worthy recipient; however, no degree should be awarded to any individual when doing so could be reasonably expected to bring dishonor or embarrassment to the University. o Honorary degrees conferred by the University of Toledo do not give honorees who do not possess earned doctoral degrees the right to use the title of "Dr." All recipients of honorary degrees may, however, list their honorary degrees in their biographies, resumes, or curricula vitae. o The University will award honorary doctorates only. o The University confers honorary degrees at its main winter and spring Commencement exercises. The University also may confer honorary degrees at separate Commencement exercises of the College of Medicine & Life Sciences, College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences and College of Law. Only the degrees of Honorary Doctor of Science and Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters are awarded to College of Medicine & Life Science and College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Science honorees.

Oklahoma State University typically awards an honorary doctoral degree in recognition of a career of extraordinary accomplishment that has benefited society through intellectual, artistic, scientific, professional, or public service contributions. In many cases, a candidate may be best known for a single achievement; but an honorary degree is not given to celebrate a deed alone or upon simply meeting a set of minimum standards. CRITERIA 2.01 The following criteria shall guide in the selection of individuals to receive honorary degrees and in the awarding of such degrees. A. Oklahoma State University shall confer honorary degrees only at the highest level for which it is authorized to award earned degrees, namely the Doctoral level. B. Any such honorary degree shall be distinguishable from earned degrees. Typical examples are listed in the Appendix. C. An honorary degree may be conferred only after receiving approval from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. D. Oklahoma State University will follow the policies of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in determining the number of honorary degrees to be granted. E. Oklahoma State University shall not confer honorary degrees upon any faculty member, administrator, or other official associated with the University until such individuals have been separated from the University for two or more academic semesters. F. Oklahoma State University will not recommend awarding an honorary degree for an emeritus faculty member of the University unless that person has been recognized for outstanding achievement or has pursued a meritorious second career.
