OAS SECRETARY GENERAL TO RECEIVE HONORARY DEGREE FROM NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
June 13, 2002
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), César Gaviria, will receive an honorary Doctor of Civil Law degree from Northeastern University during its June 15 undergraduate commencement ceremony.
The Boston-based university will recognize the Secretary General, a former President of Colombia, for his leadership and contributions in his native country, as well as for his guidance of the OAS.
Gaviria, who is 55, began his political career at age 23, when he was elected councilman in his home town of Pereira. He later served as a legislator in Colombia's House of Representatives, as a leader of the Liberal Party, and as Minister of Finance and then Interior under the administration of President Virgilio Barco. César Gaviria was elected President of Colombia in 1990 and served a four-year term. In 1994, the 34 OAS member countries elected him to head the hemispheric body. Gaviria was unanimously re-elected to a second term in 1999.
Secretary General Gaviria joins historian David McCullough, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize; Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Harvard University professor; and Irving S. Brudnick, founder of the Brudnick Center on Violence and Conflict, in receiving honorary degrees during the morning session of the 100th commencement exercises.
