At the Winona campus commencement ceremony on May 11, U.S. Senator Michael Johanns of Nebraska, a 1971 Saint Mary’s alum, was awarded a Doctor of Laws degree, honoris causa, for his lifetime of work as a public servant. Senator Johanns was cited for more than 30 years of distinguished service to society as mayor of Lincoln, governor of Nebraska, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, and U.S. Senator.
