(February 18, 2023) — Digital Media Production and Journalism major Gabby Alfveby of Killingworth was among a select group of student leaders from the campus community who were inducted into the Flagler College Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa on February 3, 2023.
The organization was founded in 1914 to recognize and encourage achievement in five major phases of campus life: academics and research, athletics, service to campus and community, communications, and creative and performing arts.
Circle President Presleigh Johnson welcomed the inductees and recognized the characteristics that qualified them for membership in the honor society
“We, who are the members of Omicron Delta Kappa, have observed your habits, attitudes, and capacities, and are pleased with your success, with your steady growth as leaders in worthwhile endeavors, and with your appreciation of the ideals and purposes of the Society,” Johnson said.
“As newly initiated members of our Society, you have taken upon yourselves the obligation of membership, which we trust you will accept with responsibility and honor,” Flagler College President John Delaney said. “As we conclude this ceremony and as we leave this place, we hope that you will take with you and incorporate into your daily lives the ideals of excellence in leadership and service which we have affirmed here today.”
Flagler College, located in St. Augustine, Florida, encourages students within its 33 majors and 41 minors to think boldly- embrace their futures with confidence, knowledge, and enlightened perspectives. Flagler College was founded in 1968 within the Hotel Ponce de Leon, a National Historic Landmark opened in 1888 by Standard Oil co-founder and visionary behind the Florida East Coast Railway, Henry Flagler. St. Augustine’s history and culture, including the legacy Henry Flagler left for our campus, encourages lifelong inquiry, creativity and expanded self-awareness.
