Sudi joins a list of several notable figures who were honored with honorary degrees in recognition of their exceptional contributions to society in 2024.

Notably, Faith Kipyegon, the three-time Olympic champion, was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Education Degree (Honoris Causa) by the University of Eldoret. 

This accolade acknowledges her remarkable achievements in athletics and her dedication to empowering girls and women through charitable initiatives. 

Similarly, Bowling Green State University in the United States posthumously awarded an honorary Doctor of Public Service degree to James Karugu, Kenya’s second Attorney General. 

The honor recognized his significant contributions to the legal field and public service.

An honorary degree, or honoris causa, is an academic accolade conferred by a university to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to a specific field or society at large, without the completion of the usual academic requirements.

Receiving an honorary degree is a prestigious recognition that acknowledges an individual's impact and achievements beyond formal education. 

While it does not equate to a professional or academic qualification earned through coursework, it symbolizes the recipient's exceptional contributions and can enhance their public profile.
