The Fellows Society was established by former Dean Marcus in 2007 to create opportunities for interdisciplinary networking and learning among outstanding graduate students who hold competitive fellowship, and the wider FSU community. The Fellows Society continues today to be a premiere university institution with diverse events that are designed to expand members’ intellectual horizons and to facilitate broadened networks across professional disciplines.

The mission of The Fellows Society is to recognize and advance academic excellence at the graduate level by developing leadership skills. To promote exchange and interactions among fellows from multiple disciplines. To encourage service to the University and Community and to develop an interdisciplinary network of scholars.

Fellows participate in regular events, including the Fellows Forum, the Annual Induction Ceremony/Networking Session, and other special events, designed to encourage interdisciplinary exchange and to promote academic and professional development. Membership in the Fellows Society acknowledges the achievement of these ideals of strength, knowledge, and character, and our fellows are supported in reaching their utmost potential and obtaining their academic goals.
