Florida State University welcomed 113 new inductees into its prestigious Garnet & Gold Scholar Society this spring during a special ceremony on Tuesday, April 25.
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 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 inductees, along with their state, hometown, and academic major(s), are:
