Student Honor Society Wins National Award

09/13/2017

JSU's chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) recently earned the Bronze Star Status Award for their outstanding achievements in scholarship, leadership and service. For three consecutive years, the JSU chapter has been recognized as a Star Status Chapter.

“I commend both the student officer board and the advisor for their hard work and commitment in honoring, inspiring and engaging the campus community and student scholars,” said Stephen E. Loflin, CEO and Founder of NSCS. “Attaining a Star Status level is no easy feat for a full-time undergraduate student and officer. Jacksonville State University should be proud of this accomplishment as we continue to build a national community of first and second-year high achieving scholars.”

NSCS chapters can attain one of six Star Status levels for completing a series of activities and programming to include the NSCS New Member Induction Ceremony, March to College Day, Integrity Week, professional development, community service and leadership. Levels include: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Certified Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Each level is determined by the quantity and quality of events a chapter held the previous year. Based on the ranking, chapters will receive a trophy, additional funds for chapter programs, and a letter to the president of their university to showcase their exceptional work, and the impact that they have made on their campus.
