Re: I heard a rumor
You mean a doctorate? You actually have to go to school for a degree. They don't hand them out like party favors.burgerkingboy wrote:The rumor goes, when Blair goes to give her talk at Harvard, she will come back in may and receive an honorary doctrine.

Re: I heard a rumor
Honorary doctorates ARE just kind of handed out. You don't need a doctorate to get one. Lots of times speakers at commencements will get one, or someone who did something notable related to the community or the school.Mallory wrote:You mean a doctorate?

Although I doubt Blair did anything worthy enough to get an honorary doctorate, let alone from Harvard. University of Phoenix maybe.
Re: I heard a rumor
^Yes but speakers at commencement ceremonies are usually people of some significance. Like a politician or something of a similar kind.
If that girl gets an honorary PhD for making videos on YouTube and garnering a large following on social media I will eat my diploma granting me a Masters in Media Psychology. We studied social media extensively and nobody even knew of Blair freaking Fowler.

Re: I heard a rumor
Did Blair start the rumor?
Harvard only gives honorary doctorates to commencement speakers, people that are have major historic accomplishments, or a longstanding relationship with the university. Also it's a very short list each year. Less than 10.
I would imagine at least a thousand people speak at Harvard a year.
These are the people who got them last year http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2 ... y-degrees/
Still a great opportunity for her none the less.

Re: I heard a rumor
Why on earth will Blair give a talk to Harvard?For being famous or for being a vain spoiled little brat?
Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality...

She was there to speak in a panel for power of social media in the HBS annual retail and luxury goods conference.

No she wasn't. I just checked their list of activities and they had nothing going on yesterday, which is when she spoke at Harvard.sgq761 wrote:She was there to speak in a panel for power of social media in the HBS annual retail and luxury goods conference.

According to the professor who invited her, she spoke at something they're calling #CSN14 on Twitter. I have yet to figure out what that stands for though.

Re: I heard a rumor
Just figured it out. It's a course at Harvard called Competing with Social Networks, run by Misiek Piskorski - he's the person who's asked Blair to come speak every time she's been there.
