French scientist Jean Marie Dubois, a leading researcher in quasi-crystals who has collaborated with Iowa State and Ames Laboratory scientists, will be awarded an honorary doctorate of science degree during the fall undergraduate commencement ceremony Saturday, Dec. 16, in Hilton Coliseum.
Dubois, who is the director of research for the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, also will give the address at the ceremony, which begins at 2 p.m. An estimated 1,362 undergraduate students will receive bachelor's degrees during the ceremony.
About 396 students will receive master's (297) or doctoral (99) degrees during an 8 p.m. ceremony on Friday, Dec. 15, in Stephens Auditorium. Richard Seagrave, interim president and distinguished professor of chemical engineering, will present the commencement address.
Tickets are not required for either ceremony.
