Hyer Society
The Robert Stewart Hyer Society is the most distinguished Honors Society exclusive to Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ
Named for the founding President of Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, the Hyer Society was established in 1983 to recognize Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ’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 Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ credit hours. A transfer student must have 30 Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ 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 Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ students are nominated each year for membership, roughly the top 4%-7% of the student body.
