Florida State University welcomed 19 new inductees, three of whom are students in the College of Social Sciences and Public Policy, into its prestigious Garnet & Gold Scholar Society at this fall’s induction ceremony.
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.
Inductees must meet the engagement criteria and submit a synthesis reflection essay in their final semester before graduation. They are recognized during graduation and receive a designation on their transcript, a credential that makes the students stand out more to potential employers and graduate programs.
The three COSSPP inductees, along with their state, hometown, and academic major(s), are:
FLORIDA
Lake Worth
Shaina Francis, Media/Communication Studies; Political Science
Miami
Taylor Pinna, Public Health
NORTH CAROLINA
Raleigh
Lilliana Solovay, Political Science; Editing, Writing and Media
