Dr. McRobbie very passionately observed that it is a privilege for Indiana University to count such distinguished individuals as honorary alumni. Dr. Sawyer convincingly passed that scrutiny as evidenced by IU’s findings in its statement published in its official records, quoted verbatim below. Originally a professor, then a dean, at the University of Liberia, Sawyer earned degrees in political science and government from the University of Liberia and Northwestern University. In 2011, President Sirleaf awarded him the Grand Cordon of the Knighthood of the Most Venerable Order of the Pioneers, Liberia’s highest distinction. He promised to continue to work for justice, democracy and human capacity development and to uphold the honor and confidence reposed in him by Indiana University.
