One hundred standout students were named to Florida State University’s 2025 Torchbearer 100 program, an honor by the Division of Student Affairs that recognizes leadership and lasting impact across campus.

“Thank you for exemplifying the university’s core values,” Vice President for Student Affairs Amy Hecht said at the program April 14. “The Torchbearer 100 program aims to thank and celebrate student leaders for the impact they’ve had at Florida State. We are the dynamic institution we are today because of our student honorees.”

A selection committee chose the 100 students who best exemplified and inspired excellence, dynamic inclusiveness, transformative daring, responsible stewardship and community engagement. The selection process begins with applications in September and interviews are conducted in October and November. Inductees become part of a distinguished network representing leaders of change, devotion to FSU and the promise to continue to make a notable impact after graduation.

Each student received a special Torchbearer 100 medallion to wear at commencement and was celebrated for being a testament to Florida State’s legacy of leadership within the student body.
