The Australian National University will award an Honorary Doctorate to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi late in November. Vice-Chancellor of ANU, Professor Ian Young AO, said that he was delighted when he heard news of the Burmese Opposition Leader's acceptance of the offer. "It will be an honour to welcome Aung San Suu Kyi to our campus later this month and hear her speak of her activities for democracy in Myanmar. "It will be a pleasure to witness her officially become part of our academic community. Ms Suu Kyi will join a list of leaders who have received Honorary Degrees from ANU, including Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela , who received his Honorary Doctor of Laws in 2000. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD), will visit Australia in late November this year as a guest of the Australian Government.
