Franklin Honor Society Inducts Spring 2022 Members

February 10, 2022

The prestigious Franklin Honor Society hosted its fall induction ceremony on February 9, welcoming 13 new student members.

Spearheaded by Peer Mentoring Coordinator Joey Annand, this virtual event celebrated each new student member of the honor society with a round of applause and a flickering candle image alongside each student’s name to signify the traditional in-person candle lighting ceremony. The light of the candle is symbolic of knowledge and service.

In addition to becoming members of the Franklin Honor Society, the students are also now members of a new leadership group at BFIT called Franklin Leaders. This umbrella group also includes students involved in the following leadership activities: Orientation; Ambassadors; Advocacy & Awareness; and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

In a tradition that began in fall 2020, the Franklin Honor Society also inducted two staff members as honorary members in recognition of their outstanding contributions to BFIT that aid and support student success and achievement.
