Usher hits the high note: honorary doctorate recognises his musical impact
Emory University stated on their website that they are honouring the icon for his career in the music industry and his commitment to giving back to the community.
Taking to social media, the 'My Boo' hitmaker excitedly shared with his fans that he now has an honorary doctorate from Emory University at its 180th commencement ceremony in Atlanta on Monday May, 12.
'Yesterday, I received an honorary Doctorate from Emory University and had the honour of delivering the commencement address to the class of 2025.
'This moment was a reminder that the journey never stops ... keep dreaming, keep growing, and never stop believing in the power of your voice! Before I could sing, before I could dance and before I was a doctor, I had passion, and that's what matters no matter what you do!' he captioned his post.
The 46-year-old further added he wants to open doors for young people who may not have the same opportunities as he had.
