Bishop Nick receives honorary doctorate from Huddersfield University

Huddersfield University has presented Bishop Nick with an honorary doctorate “in recognition of his outstanding achievements in knowledge generation, ordained and episcopal ministry”.

Bishop Nick was with former Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman, and wedding dress designer Kate Halfpenny who also received Honorary Doctorates, joining hundreds of students at ceremonies on campus throughout Graduation.

During a speech, he referred to a quote he’d previously used, which he felt was appropriate for today’s graduates: “We are not driven by fear, we’re drawn by hope.”

Bishop Nick described the university as being “drawn to the future” with a focus on innovation, future orientation and excellent leadership.
