The National Society of Collegiate Scholars chapter at Fort Hays State University was recently recognized as a Gold Star chapter for the 2017-18 academic year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe achievement of Gold Star Status is highly coveted among our 320 chapters throughout the country,\u201d said Mitchell Altman, public relations coordinator for the NSCS. \u201cAll Gold Star Chapters were leaders in implementing engaging, student-centered events on their campuses and in their local communities, including a new member induction ceremony, Integrity Week and Planning to Achieve Collegiate Success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The ACHS-certified organization recognizes high-achieving undergraduates who show high academic performance during their first and second years of college. NSCS has three pillars of scholarship, leadership, and service. The organization gives out more than a million dollars in scholarships, awards and chapter funds annually, provides leadership and service opportunities along with career and graduate school connections.<\/p>\n
\u201cNSCS members are deeply committed to scholarship, leadership and service, and as a result, they are impacting their campus and local communities every day,\u201d according to NSCS\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
NSCS, founded in 1994, is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is recognized at more than 330 campuses throughout the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe chapter has truly proven their commitment to the ideals that NSCS holds dear,\u201d said Altman. \u201cTheir exceptional work is not only a credit to them as a chapter, but as students of FHSU as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
