Description
Mikhail Baryshnikov receives an honorary doctorate from Columbia College, Chicago. Columbia College President Dr. Warrick L. Carter speaks, followed by Bonnie Brooks, Chair of The Dance Center. Brooks presents Baryshnikov with the framed diploma to shrieks and thunderous applause; Baryshnikov is moved by the reaction, but does not make a speech. While the camera is placed in the audience, the camera operator keeps Baryshnikov within the frame during the standing ovation. The audio track is cut off Carter's opening remarks.
