Michael McPherson of Hermitage, Pa., a student at Robert Morris University, and Margaret Gratz of Leetonia, Karla Kovalchik of Berlin Center, Mario Leone of Youngstown and Beth Lynn Earles of Canfield, all students at Youngstown State University, will be honored during induction ceremonies this fall at their respective schools.

“NSCS is more than just a symbol of academic achievement,” said Stephen E. Loflin, NSCS founder and CEO. “Membership gives students access to a number of amazing benefits including career and networking resources, scholarships, travel and service projects both on campus and in the community.”
