ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ

The Robert Stewart Hyer Society is the most distinguished Honors Society exclusive to ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ

Named for the founding President of ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, the Hyer Society was established in 1983 to recognize ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ’s most intellectually gifted undergraduates who have distinguished themselves through high academic achievement. At a minimum, Hyer Society members must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.85 after 60 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ credit hours. A transfer student must have 30 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ graded hours and a cumulative grade point average of 3.85. Members are then chosen by a faculty committee based on academic performance and on an essay written each year on a different topic. Only a small fraction of ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ students are nominated each year for membership, roughly the top 4%-7% of the student body.
