In addition to the new members, those attending the dinner program included current senior members as well as Juniata College faculty, emeritus faculty, administration, and staff members who are in the Juniata College Honor Society. Students selected to Juniata s Honor Society must be in their junior or seniors years of academic standing, earning a minimum of 75 credit hours in their junior year or 105 credit hours in their senior year.
Applicants have to demonstrate much more than academic achievement.
They need to show broad interest across the curriculum, serious involvement in efforts outside of the classroom, and how they have stretched themselves by meeting challenges or taking risks. In addition, no more than 15 percent of the junior or senior classes can earn membership in the Honor Society. The program also included remarks by Thomas R. Kepple Jr., Juniata College president, and Jennifer Evans and Ana Mills, co-presidents of the Juniata College Honor Society.
