University of Calgary mourns the passing of the Aga Khan IV
UCalgary News, Feb. 10, 2025. Spiritual leader of the world’s Ismaili Muslims accepted Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from UCalgary in 2018.
The University of Calgary has a special connection to the Aga Khan, who graciously accepted an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree — UCalgary’s highest academic honour — at a ceremony held in October 2018 on campus, which was viewed by thousands around the world via a livestream broadcast.
UCalgary benefited greatly from His Highness’s visionary efforts through research partnerships with Aga Khan University campuses in Pakistan, Kenya and Uganda. The faculties of graduate studies, nursing, arts, and the Werklund School of Education were among those supported by these partnerships.
