William Shatner is being beamed back to his hometown this spring to receive an honorary degree from his alma mater, McGill University.
The 80-year-old former Star Trek star will be honoured during convocation on June 2.
Shatner graduated from McGill in 1952 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree.
While studying there, he was president of McGill’s radio workshop and was active in campus theatre productions.
The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor was also recently awarded with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for lifetime achievement.
He now stars in the sitcom $#*! My Dad Says, originally adapted from a popular Twitter account.
