Florida State University Honors 37 COSSPP Student Leaders through Torchbearer 100 Program

The Division of Student Affairs at Florida State University proudly honored the 2024 inductee class for the Torchbearer 100 program during a celebration on April 15 at the FSU Student Union. Of the entire inductee class, 37 COSSPP students were among them. The Torchbearer 100 program is a longstanding tradition which recognizes a diverse group of 100 undergraduate students who have shown exceptional leadership and achievement during their collegiate careers.

A selection committee chose the students who best exemplified the university’s core values: inspired excellence, dynamic inclusiveness, transformative daring, responsible stewardship and engaged community. Each honoree 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.

“FSU’s incredible student life has been created and developed by students since our founding,” said Amy Hecht, vice president for student affairs. “The Torchbearer 100 is an opportunity for the university to recognize and honor those students who continue to build upon our tradition of leadership and service.”
