"Dr. Anthony Fauci, the world-renowned infectious disease
expert who has spent decades on the front lines in the fights
against HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Zika and now COVID-19, will deliver
the 67th Beatty Lecture in an online event on Friday, Oct. 1,
2021, as part of McGill University's virtual Homecoming
festivities. Following the lecture, he will be given an
honorary doctorate - Doctor of Science, honoris causa - from
the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
"McGill University's honorary degrees are the means by which
the University expresses its highest ideals, recognizing
individuals whose accomplishments are of such excellence that
they provide inspiration and leadership to the community," said
Suzanne Fortier, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill
University. "A world-renowned scientist, Dr. Anthony Fauci
undoubtedly exceeds these criteria. He is a pioneer in the
research of pathogenesis and treatment of immune-mediated and
infectious diseases, and he has served as the Chief Medical
Advisor to seven U.S. presidents."
