I currently attend Berklee College of Music and ever since Prince passed I thought it would be fitting for him to recieve an Honorary Degree. Sure it would be more fitting if the person was alive when recieving it, however I think that it is a nice way of further immortalizing his influence and stating how big we really was

Just my opinion and a pet peeve, but why do these places wait until a person is gone before they realize what they had and honor them? It always bothers me these posthumus honors.

admission is easy, just say U believe, then come 2 this place in your heart.

I'm sure he will be receiving several awards a long the way.

He refused many, not sure if his JW beliefs had anything to do with it.

He was also honored with a street plaque at the Harlem Theater.

Not sure why he wasn't honored yet at Kennedy.... I wonder if he just turned it down.

fan for life

It's not a posthumous honour - they'd finally got him to agree to accept it, after trying for ages.
