Florida State University welcomed 37 new inductees into the Garnet and Gold Scholar Society this fall.
Established in 2010, the Garnet and Gold Scholar Society facilitates 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 so proud of this fall’s Garnet and Gold Scholars,” said Mary Coburn, vice president for Student Affairs. “Their dedication to education and their involvement internationally and locally showcase what it means to be an FSU student. This group of inductees will continue to make great contributions in their respective graduate programs, which range from law and medical school to areas such as psychology, business and education. Also, several inductees plan to head into the work force in the areas of education, advertising and accounting. We look forward to watching their continued success as alumni of Florida State.”
To become an inductee of the Garnet and 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 at graduation and receive a designation on their official university transcript, both of which make the students more marketable to potential employers or graduate programs.
