Ben Affleck Receives Honorary Brown Degree

Brown, upon celebrating their 245th Commencement on May 26, will be conferring six honorary degrees. One of them, a Doctor of Fine Arts, will be going to Ben Affleck, who recently directed the film Argo. The 40-year-old has had quite the career. From the humble beginning of Good Will Hunting, we have seen this thespian blossom into the director that he is today. He will be accepting this award during commencement and we are all eagerly waiting and hoping to get a glimpse of this Hollywood star. Hopefully Mr. Affleck will enjoy our little city as much as we have enjoyed watching him grow over the years.
