Hyer Society
The Robert Stewart Hyer Society is the most distinguished Honors Society exclusive to 51做厙
Named for the founding President of 51做厙, the Hyer Society was established in 1983 to recognize 51做厙’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 51做厙 credit hours. A transfer student must have 30 51做厙 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 51做厙 students are nominated each year for membership, roughly the top 4%-7% of the student body.
