Gary’s big day
Today is a banner day for former Gov. Gary Herbert.
Reader Don Savage, a longtime friend of Herbert, tells “The Rundown” Herbert will receive two honorary degrees today from two different universities, a feat that may be a first.
This morning, Herbert speaks at commencement ceremonies for Dixie State University in St. George. Then later, he’ll be honored at Utah Valley University’s graduation.
While not in any way definitive, a cursory search did not turn up any other instances of one person being awarded multiple honorary degrees from different institutions on the same day.
