Ten seniors inducted into FGCU Hall of Fame
Ten graduating seniors were inducted into the Florida Gulf Coast University Hall of Fame during a banquet April 2.
The Hall of Fame, the highest recognition given to student leaders at FGCU, honors Eagles who have demonstrated superior leadership, integrity and achievement in scholarship, campus involvement and community service. A committee of faculty, students and alumni reviews nominations and selects up to 10 honorees each spring.
The 2015 Hall of Famers represent a diverse range of academic interests, but share a common commitment to being engaged citizens and high-achieving scholars:
– Lucy Leban: A political science and philosophy major from Lehigh Acres, she is active in Honors, served as president of FGCU’s Amnesty International chapter and participated in a study/serve abroad program in Costa Rica. Leban was also accepted in a summer-long National Science Foundation Research Experience at the University of North Texas, where she had a research paper published.
