Nor had the Hound until Lincoln University announced the line-up of awards it will hand out to alumni at the agri-based uni’s upcoming graduation ceremony. Its press release says the celebrity cook and best-selling food-writer Annabel Langbein will receive an honorary doctorate. With her on the dais will be businessman and farmer Forbes Elworthy, to receive the Bledisloe Medal, and Brian Hedley to pick up the 2017 Alumni International Medal for his work in agriculture, poverty alleviation and challenging social injustice. Your old mate suggests this shows the diversity of Lincoln’s graduates over the years. Let’s hope the university can get out of its financial woes and keep producing stellar graduates.
