Saint Michael’s College students inducted into honor societies in spring 2024

Each spring, Saint Michael’s students who excel academically are chosen to be inducted into national and international academic honor societies that have chapters on campus.  

In addition to several honor societies that draw from the general student population, there are about a dozen honor societies that are specific to academic disciplines and draw from students in related majors and minors.  

The students inducted into honor societies during the spring semester of 2024 are listed below.
