In mid-May, the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) Chapter at Cal State San Bernardino was recognized as a Certified Gold Star Chapter for the 2017-18 academic year.  “The achievement of Certified Gold Star status is highly coveted among our 320 chapters throughout the country,” said Stephen E. Loflin, founder of the NSCS, in an award letter to CSUSB President Morales. “All Certified Gold Star Chapters were leaders in implementing engaging, student-centered events on their campus and in their local community.”  NSCS is a nonprofit honors organization certified by the Association of College Honor Societies, and recognizes high-achieving undergraduates who excel academically during their first and second year of college.  “The chapter has truly proven their commitment to the ideals that NSCS holds dear,” said Loflin, who credits David Marshall, English professor and director of the University Honors Program, as well as NSCS officers, members and the community as a whole. “Their exceptional work is not only a credit to them as a chapter, but as students of California State University, San Bernardino as well.”
