Â鶹Éç

The Robert Stewart Hyer Society is the most distinguished Honors Society exclusive to Â鶹Éç

Named for the founding President of Â鶹Éç, the Hyer Society was established in 1983 to recognize Â鶹Éç’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 Â鶹Éç credit hours. A transfer student must have 30 Â鶹Éç 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 Â鶹Éç students are nominated each year for membership, roughly the top 4%-7% of the student body.
