FSU Garnet & Gold Scholar Society honors 100+ new Arts and Sciences inductees in virtual ceremony

| Fri, 05/01/20

Florida State University welcomed 316 new student inductees into its prestigious Garnet & Gold Scholar Society this spring, the largest class of inductees to date since the program was started. One hundred and five hail from the College of Arts and Sciences.

Established in 2010, the Garnet & Gold Scholar Society facilitates student involvement and recognizes undergraduate students who excel within and beyond the classroom in at least three of five areas: international experience, internship, leadership, research and service.

“It is an honor to welcome this new group of inductees to the Garnet & Gold Scholar Society,” said Amy Hecht, vice president of Student Affairs. “These students have been eager to excel inside and outside of the classroom, and they deserve our recognition for their involvement in bettering the campus and community.”

To become an inductee of the Garnet & Gold Scholar Society, students must meet the engagement criteria and submit a synthesis reflection project in their final semester before graduation. Participants are recognized during graduation and receive a designation on their official university transcript, both of which make the students more marketable to potential employers or graduate programs.

“We truly believe that the work you have done within your classroom and beyond – both in the Garnet & Gold Scholar Society and during your experience at Florida State University – will benefit you in your future career and life,” said Myrna Hoover, director of The Career Center.
