Academic Programs
Golden Key believes in connecting its members with continuing educational opportunities. Society members are granted access to numerous academic scholarships and awards amounting to over half a million dollars annually. Those interested in pursuing an MBA or other graduate degree can take advantage of Golden Key’s Graduate School Connections portal, which houses information about graduate school entrance exams, recruitment events and programs at top schools.
Service Projects
Giving is an art, and Golden Key members are privileged to enjoy this art in a number of ways, from local service events to events on a global scale. Golden Key partners with various non-profit organizations to provide volunteer and fundraising opportunities for its members. Members are invited to participate in local service projects at their home institution which the local chapters organize themselves based on what’s important to them. In July 2014, Golden Key unveiled its new service initiative called SPARK a Change.
Leadership Opportunities
Personal and professional development is key to unlocking your potential, and Golden Key can provide the tools you need to get there. The Society has an On-Demand Training Library, accessible with your member ID, full of tips and instructional videos to help you improve your skills in the areas of leadership, goal-setting and teamwork. And at the chapter level, members can become officers and use their new abilities to interact with their peers. Sign in to access the Training Library.
