YSU chapter gets bronze STAR status

Staff report

Youngstown

The Youngstown State University chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars was awarded bronze STAR status at NSCS’ 2010 Leadership Summit.

NSCS is an honors organization for high-achieving freshmen and sophomores with more than 300 student-run chapters at colleges across the country.

STAR status is determined by chapter program success, community service, member engagement and campus involvement. Chapters also are required to have an induction ceremony for new members each term.

“For the NSCS chapter on the Youngstown State University campus, the reward of attaining bronze STAR status is second only to the impact it has had on the community and the bonds it has strengthened between members,” NSCS said in a news release.
