Looking scholarly in his cap and gown, Ben Affleck received an honorary doctorate degree from Brown University in Providence, Massachusetts on Saturday (May 25).
The "Argo" director and star nabbed a Doctor of Fine Arts at the ceremony, where he was honored for his work as a director, actor, writer, and producer.
In addition to his film career, the 40-year-old actor was also recognized for his contributions to humanitarian causes.
In March 2010, he founded the Eastern Congo Initiative, the first U.S.-based advocacy and grant-making initiative wholly focused on the mission of helping the people of eastern Congo support local community-based approaches that create a sustainable and successful society in the long-troubled region. Additionally, Ben supports other charitable programs, including Feeding America, Paralyzed Veterans of America, A-T Children?s Project, and the Jimmy Fund.
