Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) recognized four people with honorary degrees late last month.
David Aisenstat, Christine Brodie, Joanne Curry and Baltej Singh Dhillon were each awarded honorary degrees during KPU's spring convocation ceremonies May 28 to 30.
Aisenstat is president and chief executive officer of Keg Restaurants. He founded The Keg Spirit Foundation in 2001 to commemorate The Keg's 30th anniversary.
Dhillon is head of the RCMP's Federal and Serious Organized Crime Intelligence Unit. He is a KPU criminology alumnus who successfully lobbied to be the first RCMP member permitted to wear a turban, showing "unwavering courage in the face of opposition, intolerance and racism."
Currey is the associate vice-president of external relations for Simon Fraser University, and was executive director of SFU Surrey for more than 10 years.
Brodie, before she retired from the Richmond School District, worked as a district consultant and community outreach teacher.
