@Ch_JesusChrist@EyringHB These comments people make are funny. What difference does it make if his name is first? Just read the whole thing! They’ve always done it like that. It’s more formal.
@Ch_JesusChrist@RonaldARasband I also dropped out of the U when I got a great job offer. I hope they give me an honorary degree someday too! 🤞
All kidding aside, congratulations @RonaldARasband!
The University of Utah bestowed an honorary doctorate on Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on Thursday, April 30, 2026.
Elder @RonaldARasband attended the University of Utah in the 1970s but left before completing his degree after Jon Huntsman Sr. offered him a senior marketing position at his company. Reflecting on his path, Elder Rasband admitted he has occasionally joked about being a “college dropout,” but noted that a small part of his heart always felt that side of his life was “deficient.”
“This is very humbling,” he said. “For the University of Utah to offer me an honorary doctorate means so much because I had to leave when I was within sight of getting my degree.”
