Devon Zheng, President of NHS started, off the ceremony by speaking to everyone about the criteria that needs to be met to be an NHS member. The first is that that you must have a 95% cumulative grade point average, and then cadnidates are evaluated on their leadership skills, character, and service qualities and activities by a review board made up of faculty members.
