Russell M. Nelson, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is one of three people who will be getting honorary doctorate degrees from the University of Utah during the 2021 commencement ceremony in May. The commencement will be held virtually on May 6 to keep COVID-19 health guidelines.
Joining Nelson in getting honorary degrees from the U are education advocate C. Hope Eccles, and the father of biotechnology, William J. Rutter. In addition to leading more than 16 million members, 96-year-old Nelson was a world-renowned heart surgeon who helped pioneer open-heart surgery at a time when many believed that touching a human heart would cause it to stop beating, the University of Utah said in a news release.
