| | |  Aberdeen University to honour J.K. Rowling
J.K. Rowling will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Aberdeen next month in recognition of her contribution to multiple sclerosis (MS) research.
Rowling, whose mother died of MS, is the patron of the MS Society Scotland and has given substantial donations to fund MS research at several universities, including Aberdeen.
Rowling said: Quote:
I am extremely honoured to be receiving this honorary degree from such a distinguished Scottish university, with such a dynamic international reputation.
I am also particularly pleased to support the work that the university's institute of medical sciences is doing on MS research.
As the patron of the MS Society Scotland, and someone with personal experience of the devastating effects of MS, it is a great privilege to be able to help the institute continue its pioneering work into the causes and effects of multiple sclerosis.
| Rowling will receive her degree on July 6th.
