An impressive audience of 400 staff, students, alumni and invited guests filled the Bute Hall on Tuesday 25 November 2014, to celebrate the award of an honorary degree to Paul Tudor Jones II, for his achievements in business and philanthropy, on Tuesday 25 November 2014. In addition to receiving an honorary degree, Dr Jones delivered the second annual Andrew Carnegie Lecture.
In his lecture titled 'The Business of Conservation' Mr Jones addressed the role of philanthropy as a strong force in key worldwide issues such as health, poverty alleviation, education and conservation. His continuing contributions to conservation are highly complementary to on-going research in the University’s Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine and the Boyd Orr Centre for Population and Ecosystem Health, which won the Queen’s Anniversary prize for Higher and Further Education in 2013.
