Boston University’s Scarlet Key Honor Society is a prestigious University-wide honor. This year’s “tapping” event was held Thursday, September 21, 2023, and a formal induction ceremony will occur during Commencement Weekend in May. Scarlet Key classes have opportunities to network and get to know each other throughout the year.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by my colleagues for supporting our students,” says Jean. “CFA students are empathetic and passionate. Working with them is a privilege.”
Boston University’s Scarlet Key Honor Society was founded in 1938 as an activities honor society, in which new members were voted in, or tapped, annually by existing ones. Learn more about the history of this prestigious community.
Today, BU faculty and staff nominate potential inductees annually in the spring for fall tapping, followed by a formal induction ceremony during Commencement Weekend in May. Scarlet Key classes have opportunities to network and get to know each other throughout their senior year.
