Spice Girls star Geri Horner will receive an honorary doctorate award from Sheffield Hallam University for her work championing children, young people and women’s rights.
The 49-year-old singer, known to fans as Ginger Spice, will collect her award at a degree ceremony in November, where more than 12,000 students will be graduating from the university this year.
Geri said it was a ‘great privilege’ to be honoured and described education as a ‘superpower’. ‘I sincerely believe education is a superpower, supporting young people with the confidence, perspective and experience to pursue their life goals and dreams,’ she exclaimed. ‘I’m delighted to receive the award and very much look forward to returning to Sheffield Hallam for the graduation ceremony later this year. ’She recently visited the campus to meet vice-chancellor, Professor Sir Chris Husbands, and students in media, arts and communication. ‘Geri Halliwell-Horner’s contribution to raising the aspirations of children and young people alongside her commitment to promoting women’s rights align closely with the university’s mission to transform lives,’ Sir Chris enthused. ‘I am delighted that she has accepted our offer to award her an honorary doctorate in recognition of her philanthropic work, and look forward to welcoming her to our community. ’Arsenal to battle Spurs for Leeds United star as Chelsea cool their interestWoman left confused after eight random Americans turn up in her gardenRussia extends detention for WNBA star Brittney GrinerGeri shot to fame in the 1990s as part of the Spice Girls, who scored nine number one singles and two number one albums during their pomp.
