Garnet & Gold Scholar Society welcomes 26 new inductees during virtual ceremony
Florida State University welcomed 26 new inductees into its prestigious Garnet & Gold Scholar Society this fall during a virtual induction ceremony Thursday.
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.
“FSU is one of the most student-centered campuses in the country, and the Garnet & Gold Scholar Society has truly advanced that mission,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Amy Hecht. “We hope that beyond graduation you will have fond memories of Florida State University and all that you’ve learned while immersed in your unique Garnet & Gold Scholar Society experiences.”
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, making the students more marketable to potential employers or graduate programs.
The inductees, along with their state/country, hometown and academic major(s), are:
