Florida State University welcomed 63 new members into the prestigious Garnet and Gold Scholar Society.
Founded in 2010 by President Eric J. Barron, the Garnet and Gold Scholar Society recognizes well-rounded undergraduate students who excel within and beyond the classroom in at least three of five areas: international, internship, leadership, research and service.
“This year’s class of 63 inductees brings us to almost 200 total Garnet and Gold Scholars, including future doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, scientists, community leaders and Fulbright Scholars,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Mary Coburn. “They have seized every opportunity to learn and grow at Florida State.They represent the best of our university and our future.”
The program aims to facilitate involvement while allowing students to reflect on the value of their experiences. The scholars must meet the engagement criteria and successfully complete a synthesis reflection project to be considered for induction into the society.
