Elizabeth Cherry of Columbus inducted into Baldwin Wallace University's elite Dayton C. Miller Honor Society

2015 Jan 21

Elizabeth Cherry of Columbus stands among a distinguished group of students at Baldwin Wallace University that has reached BW's pinnacle of academic honor society achievement with Fall 2014 induction into the Dayton C. Miller Honor Society. Cherry, a junior majoring in mathematics, was honored with membership that is achieved by less than four percent of the undergraduate student body.

The society, which was founded at BW in 1948, honors the memory of BW alumnus Dayton C. Miller (1886), who served as a professor of Physics at the Case Institute for many years, conducting notable research into the science of acoustics and assembling a unique collection of flutes, currently held by the Smithsonian. Miller served as secretary and later president of the BW Board of Trustees, and he was active in the University community until his death in 1941.

In order to be considered for induction, students must have earned a minimum of 70 semester hours, with at least 32 semester hours earned at BW. From those meeting the semester hour requirement, the top 100 current student GPAs are eligible for membership. This year's average GPA was 3.9.
