UVa-Wise inducts new Darden Society members
The Darden Society of The University of Virginia’s College at Wise added 30 new members during an April 26 induction ceremony.
The College’s oldest honor society, the Darden Society is named for Colgate W. Darden, Jr., former governor of Virginia and former president of the University of Virginia, whose belief in higher education and love for Southwest Virginia brought him to lend support essential to the founding and growth of UVa-Wise. The Darden Society was founded in 1964 by the late E. L. “Buck” Henson, Jr., professor emeritus of history.
Darden Society membership is based upon high scholarly achievement and intellectual promise. Sophomores become eligible for membership by completing their first three semesters in residence at the College with uniformly superior records. Juniors and seniors must be nominated by faculty members of their respective major departments.
The only branch of the University of Virginia, UVa-Wise is ranked among the nation’s top public liberal arts colleges by U.S. News and World Report. UVa-Wise is home to 1,900 students and offers undergraduate and professional programs in the liberal arts tradition of Thomas Jefferson.
