Flagler College

Flagler College professors and staff were asked to recommend a robust group of graduating seniors from the Class of 2023 who boldly embody what it means to be a Saint. From a class of more than 450 seniors, a select group of students were nominated as featured graduates in the College's annual #FCGradStories.

Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society, celebrates students who are serving as circle (chapter) presidents. Students who serve as circle presidents are leaders amongst leaders. Members of ODK must be sophomores, juniors, seniors, or graduate/professional students in the top 35% of their class and embrace the Society's ideals. They also must demonstrate leadership experience in at least one of the five pillars of campus life celebrated by ODK: academics and research, athletics, service to campus and community, communications, and creative and performing arts. Fewer than five percent of students on a campus are invited to join each year.

Each year, every active ODK circle (chapter) is encouraged to recognize one collegiate member as its outstanding leader for the circle and the campus. Recipients of this award are honored for their contributions to the circle and their campus community. They are selected by their fellow members or the circle's leadership team.

Flagler College celebrated the academic and personal accomplishments of more than 450 graduates at the Class of 2023 Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 6.

During Flagler's Business Week 2023, three student teams were collectively awarded more than $5,000 in seed money to bring their entrepreneurial ideas to life. This winning group of students competed against more than 40 peers across 16 teams in Business Week's "reverse-pitch competition." Ahead of Business Week, teams were tasked with creating a business solution to one of four key issues: affordable housing, homeowners' insurance, resiliency in coastal communities, and the future of work.

Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society, welcomed 152 new initiates from 10 universities during February 2023.

A select group of student leaders from the campus community was inducted into the Flagler College Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa on Feb. 3. The organization was founded in 1914 to recognize and encourage achievement in five major phases of campus life: academics and research, athletics, service to campus and community, communications, and creative and performing arts.

Students in Flagler's core education class titled "History Detectives-Russia and Ukraine: A Turbulent History," presented their research findings on the history behind the conflict between Russia and Ukraine to visitors in the Ringhaver Student Center. In the course instructed by Professor Alex Cummins, students explored two central issues related to the conflict: the validity of Putin's justification to invade Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, and Ukrainians' desire to have closer relations with the West than with Russia.
