Charlie Rose, anchor of the nightly one-hour program “Charlie Rose” and “CBS This Morning” co-anchor, will receive an honorary degree from Duke University this spring.

Rose is one of five recipients who will receive the degrees at the May 15 commencement.

Duke announced the awards on Thursday.

Duke President Richard Broadhead said in a release:

“As we celebrate the achievements of our graduates, Duke also has a tradition of conferring a small number of honorary degrees at commencement. These degrees honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions in diverse fields. We lift them up as inspiring examples of how today’s graduates might use their talent and education to make their own contributions to the world.”

Rose won an Emmy Award and Peabody Prize for his 2013 interview with Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad. Rose also received the 2015 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism and the 2014 Vincent Scully Prize.

The Henderson, North Carolina, native earned a bachelor’s degree in history and a law degree from Duke.

Rose will be joined in receiving an honorary degree by global health pioneer William Foege, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation president and CEO Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, former U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey and mathematician Srinivasa Varadhan.
