English term or phrase: walk the heritage
In the context of awarding of honorary diplomas of all kind:

1. "We encourage you to *walk the heritage* and discover the opportunity provided."

2. "Take Pride and *walk the heritage* provided with our Honorary Professor title degree."

AND 3. "However this diploma certification must be viewed differently but will bring recognition and reflects significant achievements in a particular professional field of knowledge, this certificate is designated to honor all obligations listed with the principles of our Institute; be proud and *walk the heritage* and discover the opportunities that lies in front of you; Your accomplishment now be honored officially by [our] Institute."

I am not sure to understand well what is meant here.

1. "parcourir notre histoire"?
2./3. could also be: "Soyez fier du patrimoine acquis avec notre titre de Professeur honoraire".
What do you think?

. . . découvrir notre héritage, profitons-en et soyez-en fier


Explanation:
I understand this in the context of "walk the walk" – in other words, live-up to all that "it" means. As in: "Nous vous encourageons de découvrir notre héritage, profitons-en et soyez-en fier."
