HUNDREDS of students will take part in the second day of York St John University graduations at York Minster today.

The star attraction will be Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who will receive an honorary doctor of laws, alongside the education and theology graduates. He is one of six eminent people to receive honorary degrees this year including industry talent manager for Channel 4, Glynn Ryland, Julia Unwin, chief executive of the York-based Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, comedian, author and presenter Sandi Toksvig and Dr Elizabeth White, who has been head of research and development at the College of Occupational Therapists since 2002.

Yesterday it was the turn of Yorkshire poet, broadcaster, commentator and programme maker, Ian McMillan, who was awarded with an honorary doctor of letters alonside Glynn Ryland, industry talent manager for Channel 4, who also became an honorary doctor of letters.

Mr McMillan is one of the country’s best-known contemporary poets and in addition to his many books for adults and children, which include prose and plays, he appears regularly on television and radio and contributes articles to several national and regional newspapers. He also hosts the arts programme The Verb, which is broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

Vice Chancellor, Prof David Flemming, who took up his post in 2010, said he was sure that graduates would be inspired by the contributions of all of the honorary doctorate recipients.
