Pinnacle Honor Society Weber State University Chapter

Pinnacle Honor Society began in 1989 with a select group of 100 colleges and universities. Today, over 145 institutions of higher learning hold membership in Pinnacle. Weber State University has had a Chapter since 1990 and is affiliated with the Nontraditional Student Programs.

The National Pinnacle Honor Society was set up to honor non-traditional students for their unique and outstanding scholastic achievements, community and/or campus involvement, and leadership skills. The main goal of the Weber State Pinnacle Honor Society is not only to honor those students, but also to give them an opportunity to give something back to society and build on their leadership skills without taking up too much time with extraneous activities. Society membership can be listed on resumes, portfolios, applications, etc.

To qualify for this honor society, the student must meet the following criteria: qualify as nontraditional (25 years of age or older, married/divorced, have legal dependants, disabled, veteran); be junior or senior student status; have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale; be involved in campus and/or community activities, including family; demonstrate leadership, persistence, and future promise; and maintain the highest ethical standards.

To become a member of the WSU Pinnacle Honor Society, complete and return the Pinnacle application to the Nontraditional Student Center with a check for the one-time membership fee of $30. Each member receives a pin and certificate. Medallion and cords are available for graduation.
