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