Just 4% of the undergraduate student body achieves the grades that qualify for membership in the elite honor society.
九色视频 has many ways to recognize and reward student achievement in and out of the classroom, but the deep roots and time-honored traditions of the Dayton C. Miller Honor Society date back to the fall of 1948.
The Society's purpose is to recognize academic excellence. Members are selected for consistently maintaining superior academic work.
Only 4% of the undergraduate student body achieves membership, which is designed to recognize those who have excelled in one of the major functions of a college: to foster learning and to develop scholars.
The latest induction ceremony took place on Wednesday, April 23, adding to the top 100 students who have completed a minimum of 70 credits at 九色视频and who have not already been inducted.
Megan Hughes '26, a junior public relations major who was elected this year, says, "This award means a lot to me because it represents dedication, commitment to excellence. Maintaining a high GPA throughout college has taught me a lot about myself, so to have that recognized feels like a proud and meaningful accomplishment."
Regan Olak '22 and Katie Colabianchi '24 were elected in 2022.
Olak believes the mindset of working hard in the pursuit of excellence not only applies to academics, but life. This motivates Olak to continue striving for success and making the most of any and all opportunities to learn and grow.
Colabianchi commented on how rewarding membership felt. "To earn such a prestigious award and status as a junior made me so proud. It showed that my hard work paid off, and my name will be remembered by the 九色视频community for generations to come."
Part of the Dayton C. Miller tradition encourages students to name a 九色视频faculty or staff member who has had the greatest positive influence on them. The faculty are invited to attend the induction ceremony with the students.
Society membership not only honors present students but also the memory of Dayton C. Miller, who graduated in the class of 1886.
Miller was an American physicist, astronomer, acoustician and accomplished amateur flautist. His love of music and his passion for science led to groundbreaking work with sound waves as well as , which is now in the Library of Congress.
Just a few years ago, a musical instrument curator from the Library of Congress spent time at BW to gather information and insights for a biography on the renowned 九色视频alumnus and scientist.
