Dear Golden Key Members and Friends:Over the past 37 years, Golden Key has proudly recognized the academic achievements

of over 10 million exemplary graduate and undergraduate students, including 60,422

new members who joined the Society in 2014. The mission of Golden Key is to enable

members to realize their potential and we believe this can be accomplished through the

advancement of academics, leadership and service. Golden Key continues to align itself

and everything it stands for around its three pillars.

Golden Key has awarded more than 11 million dollars in scholarships and awards since

its founding. In 2014, Golden Key awarded over $1,000,000 to 812 members. We were

thrilled to be able to continue our graduate scholarship program that provided $10,000

scholarships to twenty-nine excellent student members in top postgraduate programs around the world.

Our Regional Summits last year provided personal and professional training to thousands of attendees. Members were trained on

topics that included: job/internship searches, postgraduate school preparation, chapter development skills, personal development and

service project initiatives. Our International Summit was held in Boston, MA and brought 700+ members from around the world

together for professional development workshops, exciting and prestigious speakers and networking opportunities.

Our tradition of service was advanced as Golden Key sponsored events delivered over 108,000 hours of volunteer service around the

world. Golden Key also launched SPARK a Change, our own global service initiative with the goal of impacting and improving the lives

of at-risk youth through literacy, education and real-world preparedness. We will continue to emphasize the importance of performing

impactful service to our communities and strive to take this great accomplishment to an even higher level in 2015.

Within this report, you will find more details about Golden Key’s other accomplishments and how we are continuing to pursue our

mission of “enabling our members to realize their potential through the advancement of academics, leadership, and service.”

On behalf of the board and staff, thank you for your support and your efforts in making Golden Key a successful and meaningful

organization for its members.

Sincerely,

Anita J Miller, Ed.D.

In July 2014, Golden Key launched SPARK a Change, our new global service initiative. The mission of SPARK a Change is to impact and improve the lives of at-risk youth (ages 0-17) through literacy, education and real-world

preparedness. Golden Key members are service-minded individuals who strive to make a positive difference in their communities and around the world.

This initiative allows us to bring all our chapters together towards a common objective. By 2017, Golden Key aims to raise $40,000, dedicate 400,000 hours of

service and impact 400,000 lives in local communities & around the world.

Before International Summit 2017, there will be a collaborative effort to choose a program or organization that corresponds with SPARK a Change to donate the entire $40,000. By donating a lump sum of $40,000 to one organization, this donation will have a measurable impact on the recipient organization, thus fulfilling the mission of SPARK a Change.

Academics

15-year-old to Begin Ph.D. Program At fifteen years old, Golden Key member Eugenie de Silva has already accomplished more than many will

in their lifetime. She received a bachelor’s degree in intelligence analysis and a master’s in intelligence studies from American Military University (AMU). She is now finishing her thesis for her second master’s degree in legal

studies, this time at Harvard University, and she has begun a Ph.D. program in politics at the University of Leicester in England. “My goals and values certainly align with Golden Key’s mission, since I have always been focused on my academics and I am tirelessly working to provide service to the U.S. It is always wonderful to be a part of an international honor society that promotes

and upholds high standards in an academic forum.”

University of the Witwatersrand Corporate Breakfast The University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) hosted a Corporate Breakfast, which seated Wits Golden Key students with various corporate interests to provide a platform for Golden Key members to integrate, socialize, network and brainstorm ideas with corporate sponsors and fellow students. Students were able to ask representatives from various companies questions about the corporate experience, and got insights on how to write their CVs, how to seek job opportunities and how to increase their skills regarding employment contract negotiations. Attendees included 80 Wits students, 8 tables of corporate representatives, Golden Key chapter presidents from various universities across South Africa, the guest speaker, and members of the Wits University staff. Some of the corporate sponsors involved at the breakfast included Bowman & Gilfillan, PPS, SAB, FNB, and Werksman’s Attorneys. Students walked away with valuable guidance for their academics and future careers.

Golden Key Celebrates 100,000th Member From Canada

In November 2014, Golden Key was thrilled to welcome Karla Gorospe from the University of Windsor as our 100,000th member to join from Canada. In 1997, Golden Key established its first chapter in Canada and has been welcoming high-achieving students into the Society across Canada ever since. “Now that I was named as the 100,000th member, it is even more rewarding to know that many Canadian students are achieving academic excellence and taking leadership roles and meaningful involvement in the community. I have no doubt that more future leaders of this great nation will emanate from GK membership,” Karla said.

Mother, Daughter, and Son Inducted Into GK at the Same TimeOn Friday 9 May 2014, three members of the Duncan family were proudly inducted into Golden Key at the University of Adelaide’s New Member Recognition Event. Sharon Duncan, a Flinders University student studying Paramedic Science, decided to attend the University of Adelaide ceremony so that she could be inducted along with her daughter, Amy, and son, Jock. “We all received our invitation letters in the post at the same time,” said Sharon. “We study different things – Amy is topping her subjects in Medical Science (Vision Science/Master of Optometry) and Jock is studying Electronic and Electrical Engineering, as well as being Apprentice of the Year for AiGTS. I am so proud of them.”

“I applied for a Golden Key Alumni Professional Development Grant to

assist in travelling to the Digestive Diseases Week Conference in Chicago,

where I have been invited to present my research on Gastrointestinal Bleeding. I

never expected when I joined Golden Key as an undergraduate that it would continue

to support and influence my career so far into the future. Attending the conference will provide a unique

opportunity for collaboration with researchers from around the world and will enable me to share my

research at the largest Gastroenterology conference in the world. I am currently completing my medical

specialist training in Gastroenterology, specialising in hepatology and liver transplantation. I thank

Golden Key International Honour Society for supporting me.”

Leadership Spotlight - CanadaConcordia Speed Networking Event

The Concordia University chapter hosted a career speed networking event for members in order to prepare them for career fairs. First there was a panel of five

professionals from various fields who spoke about their achievements and work experience and then provided insights to the students on best practices and networking tips when interacting with recruiters. The thirty student participants were then split into five groups with one of the panelists leading each group. Each participant presented their elevator pitch and received instant feedback. Once this portion of the night was complete, there was a meet and greet with food and beverages available, where the students were able to interact amongst one another and the guest speakers to practice their networking skills in a semi-formal environment. The event was very successful and received a great deal of positive feedback.

The Golden Key North-West University, Mafikeng chapter hosted a leadership seminar in conjunction with the North-West University Career Center. The theme of the event was “leading with a purpose” which aimed to speak to the conscience of all newly elected Campus Student Representative Council leaders. The key speakers at the event were Sir Max (motivational speaker and radio presenter) and Thapelo Dlamini (motivational speaker on leadership and pastor). Their discussion topics were aimed at grooming leaders in the 21st century.

Texas Tech’s Leadership Speaker SeriesThe Golden Key Texas Tech chapter teamed up with the Texas Tech Terry Scholars to host a leadership speaker series. At each event a renowned leader from the community talked about how to develop leadership skills. For their September 2014 event, Dr. Lance Nail, the dean and a professor of finance at the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration, was the speaker. He was motivational, encouraging and effective, and the 25 GK members who attended benefitted greatly. Members left very inspired with real life examples of how great leaders act and lead by example.

University of Adelaide’s Woodville High School Mentoring Program The University of Adelaide chapter has formed a successful partnership with the Australian Government’s Department for Education and Child Development (DECD) to pair Golden Key members with Year 11 and 12 students at Woodville High School. The Golden Key mentors offer academic help to students and motivate them to achieve success. They also offer advice on attending University, and guide the students in making plans before they graduate. Many of these students need extra support in building confidence to embrace these opportunities, and the volunteers aim to fill that gap. Throughout 2014, volunteers have spent an hour per week at Woodville High School, mentoring one on one with students allocated to them according to shared academic strengths and interests.

Norfolk State University’s SPARK the Future Initiative The Golden Key chapter at Norfolk State University collaborated with the Virginia Commonwealth Challenge Youth Academy’s Mentoring and Tutoring Program. This program assists youth, ages 16-18, who are at high risk for dropping out of high school in obtaining their diploma or GED and prepares them for life post-graduation. The NSU chapter members have become mentors to the student cadets and assist them to stay motivated, inspired, and focus. The GK mentors stay in constant contact with their mentees and are dedicated to their success. The chapter strongly believes that they have the responsibility to share their education and skills.

The University of British Columbia (UBC) Golden Key chapter collaborated with Samaritan Purse, a nonprofit organization, to hold the International Christmas Shoebox Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to present at-risk youth with personalized gift boxes that include school supplies and everyday necessities. The chapter was interested in this project because it was important for them to give back to their Vancouver community and they were especially excited to make the holiday season a little brighter for disadvantaged young individuals. In total, 97 volunteers (comprised of 73 UBC Golden Key members and 24 UBC community members) came to donate school supplies and basic necessities.

The University of KwaZulu-Natal High School Tutoring ProjectThe University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) Golden Key chapter has worked with the Children in Distress Network (CINDI) on a few occasions in the past three years. In 2014, the chapter expanded their 2013 tutoring project, which centered on one disadvantaged high school to 10 high schools. The GK tutors give math, English and science tutorials for up to 80 students every other Saturday and discuss student life, course and bursary options at the university. Not only has this provided the learners with great academic help, but the Golden Key tutors were excited to travel to new places, experience the hardship of rural communities and earn a sense of pride for their accomplishments. The volunteers made sure to incorporate motivational material for the students, including a fun slideshow about what the campus and student life looks like. They enlightened the learners about what one can do with a tertiary education and provided some healthy snacks during the break.

Kim Helms Valdosta State University, United States 2014 Graduate Scholar Award recipient “I joined Golden Key when I was an undergrad at The University of Georgia and was impressed with the chapter’s goal of giving back to the local community. I have chosen to become a speech-language pathologist

in order to make a career out of giving back to my community. As a speech-language pathologist, I will be able to work with a diverse population at different life stages. Whether it is working with early intervention programs,

within the school system, hospital, inpatient/outpatient, or a skilled nursing facility, I am grateful for the financial opportunity from Golden Key to focus on my clients’ needs, and continue to follow my dreams.”

Charlotte DobsonUniversity of Winnipeg, Canada 2014 GEICO Life Scholarship recipient “As a woman who has to overcome many obstacles to achieve post-secondary schooling, this scholarship means so very much to me. I grew up in a small town from a family where education was not valued or encouraged.

I am the first person in my family to attend university. I am excited not only to achieve this goal for myself, but also to model for my own children what lifelong learning looks like. After years of working as an Educational

Assistant, I knew there was more in me to give and decided to take the big leap into post-secondary education. Attending university later in life is no easy feat as I balance the duties of being a wife and mother with my classes, homework and practicum placements. Finances are tight and every dollar counts. Awards such as these allow me to support my family while also paying for schooling. To me, this scholarship is a chance to complete my education. It is a chance at success for which I will be forever thankful.”
