The National Society of Collegiate Scholars is an honors organization which recognizes outstanding academic achievement among students in their freshman and sophomore years of college. The organization’s mission statement indicates that it is committed to “Honoring and inspiring academic excellence and engaged citizenship for a lifetime.” This makes NSCS a compatibale partner for the Institute for Responsible Citizenship. Each year, NSCS assists our recruiting efforts by promoting the Institute to eligible NSCS members. This year, two students were selected from NSCS member applications – Joseph Jenkins of the University of Pittsburgh and Ashley Simms of the University at Albany.

Today, the remaining members of the junior class were inducted into NSCS during a luncheon ceremony held at the offices of the Washington law firm, Epstein Becker & Green.
