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.
This spring’s ceremony was held virtually due to COVID-19.
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.
“We are proud to welcome this new group of inductees to the Garnet & Gold Scholar Society,” said Amy Hecht, vice president for Student Affairs. “They are a wonderful representation of the university, and we are pleased to give them recognition for their involvement 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 essay in their final semester before graduation. Participants are recognized with a unique medal and receive a designation on their official university transcript, making these 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 and 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.
