The Beehive Honor Society (BHS) was founded at the University of Utah in 1913 to honor graduating seniors who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, scholarship, and service to the university and community. On average, less than one in 1,000 students at the U is inducted into Beehive. Among the society’s 1,200-plus members and 20 honorary members are prominent leaders in medicine, academe, business, politics, and the arts. Sponsored by U Alumni, the society is the oldest local honor society on the U campus and is directed by a committee of former BHS inductees.
The Selection Committee seeks specific information regarding scholastic achievement, honors, leadership, participation in student activities at the University, and service to the community. We will also consider any activities, descriptions, or explanations not requested in the application that would help us evaluate accomplishments and contributions to the school and community.
In addition to the questions included in this form, you will be asked to provide the following materials:
- 1 or 2 letters of recommendation. One letter must come from a faculty member on campus.
- A one-page resume.
- Your official transcript from the University of Utah. Unofficial transcripts are also acceptable, as long as they show the necessary identifying information.
