“Prince was transformational in American music and culture, and we are extremely proud of his many accomplishments, as well as his efforts to give back to his home state, a legacy we hope to continue.”
Prior to his untimely passing, the University of Minnesota was in the process of considering a nomination to award Prince an honorary Doctor of Musical Arts.
In nominating Prince, the College of Liberal Arts sought to not only honor Prince's transcendent talent as a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, but also to highlight his remarkable contributions off stage: fostering musical talent, and supporting the local music industry, as well as his influence in the realms of gender identity, fashion, and socio-political activism.
