The College will bestow the honorary Doctor of Sacred Letters upon Bryan Stevenson and Carol Boettcher. Stevenson is a renowned public interest lawyer whose work focuses on helping the poor, the incarcerated, and the condemned. Boettcher is a veteran human resources, labour relations, and organizational development leader, who served as Chair of Wycliffe's Board of Trustees during a seminal period in the College's recent history.
