Doctorate vs Honorary Doctorate
Doctorate degrees embody scholarly achievements, specialization, and the advancement of knowledge within a particular field. Honorary doctorate degrees celebrate exceptional accomplishments and contributions to society. The title of Dr. (Doctor of Philosophy) and Ph.D are the same for doctorate and honorary doctorate degrees.

Subject: Honorary Doctorate Degree Nomination for Anelia Sutton
Dear [Recipient's Name],
My name is [Your Name], and I am writing to nominate Anelia Sutton for an honorary doctorate from this esteemed institution.
Anelia was in a doctoral program to expand her knowledge and contribute to academia. Unfortunately, two sudden family emergencies compelled her to withdraw from the program after successfully completing 45 out of 60 credits. This experience was a turning point in her life, which led Anelia into social justice.
Anelia's exceptional accomplishments and contributions to society has had a positive impact on thousands through her large community on social media which is why I believe she deserves to receive an honorary doctorate from your school.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
