Florida State University welcomes 129 new inductees into its prestigious Garnet & Gold Scholar Society this spring.
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.
To become an inductee of the Garnet & Gold Scholar Society, students must meet the engagement-area 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.
The students were inducted into the Garnet & Gold Scholar Society during a special ceremony Wednesday, April 27.
The inductees, along with their hometowns and academic majors, are:
