RTÉ broadcaster Miriam O'Callaghan was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters (D.Litt) degree by the University of Ulster in Derry today.
Delivering the citation at the city's Millennium Forum concert hall, Professor Deirdre Heenan, Provost of the University's Magee campus, said of O'Callaghan: "She is the ultimate multi-tasker. Humanity and compassion are the central elements of her journalism."
At today's summer graduation ceremony, hundreds of new graduates applauded as Professor Richard Barnett presented O'Callaghan with her Doctor of Letters.
