William W. Asbury,
chair, Board of directors
dear Golden Key Members and Friends:
Over the past 35 years, Golden Key has proudly recognized academic
excellence in over 10 million exemplary graduate and undergraduate students,
including 80,874 new members who joined the Society in 2011. 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 – our pillars.
In advancing academics, Golden Key has awarded over 10 million dollars in
scholarships and awards since its founding. In 2011, Golden Key awarded
over $1,000,000 to members. We are thrilled to be able to continue our
graduate scholarship program and provided thirty $10,000 scholarships to excellent student members in top
postgraduate programs around the world.
Our Regional Summits last year provided thousands with personal and professional training. Members were
trained on topics that included: job/internship searches, postgraduate school preparation, chapter development
skills, personal development and service project initiatives.
Our service pillar was advanced as Golden Key sponsored events delivered over 180,000 hours of volunteer
service around the world. 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 2012.
Within this report, you will learn in more detail 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, we thank you for your support and your efforts in making Golden Key a
successful and meaningful organization for its members.
Sincerely,
w w w . g o l d e n k e y. o r g • 2

“Golden Key’s partnership with renowned
and established organizations has opened
the door of opportunity for me to attend
academic conferences across the globe. I
have interacted with fellow scholars and
leaders whose combined experiences have
broadened my perspective on culture and
humanity. Without my involvement with
Golden Key, I would never have the chance
to explore the world and I am grateful.”

Postgraduate Study Award Winner
“I am honoured to be selected as one of
the recipients for the 2011 Golden Key
Canadian Postgraduate Study Award. GK
has been a big part of my undergraduate
experience and I had the opportunity
to meet so many exceptional people
along the way. This scholarship makes a
significant contribution to help make my
continued studies possible.”
“Golden Key offers an opportunity for students to strive towards academic excellence within their
chosen field and to maintain that level of academic standing throughout their academic career.”
- Monique Withering, University of the Western Cape - Chapter Co-Advisor
The University of Tasmania chapter ran a series of panels in 2011 to
engage members in social and intellectual topics, including one that
addressed the future of university education in Tasmania. Panellists
included the University Vice Chancellor Peter Rathjen, and the
local member of the Australian Parliament Andrew Wilkie. Over 80
students and public citizens attended to listen and contribute to the
discussion, and the panel was broadcast live on local radio. A live
Twitter Feed was also projected on the screen above the panel which
allowed participation from those who were unable to be present but
wished to contribute to the discussion in a public forum.
In April 2011, four Golden Key members at the University of Michigan-
Flint were awarded the Maize and Blue Distinguished Scholar Award,
the highest academic award bestowed upon a graduate of the University
of Michigan-Flint. They were Trisiani Affandi, Bachelor of Science in
Chemistry; Samantha J. Honea, Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice
and Sociology; Mixsy L. Trinidad, Bachelor of Science in Elementary
Education; and Cameron K. Waites, Bachelor of Science in Honors
Health Sciences.

the greater good and in the process, realises

“By having various leadership skills experience
one knows how to tackle all challenging aspects
within the work environment. Through excellent
leadership exposure one has the ability to
convince, motivate and support your fellow
colleagues. The most positive leadership character
that can be adapted is that of getting to know
yourself better, through leading several people.
Leadership gives you the edge!”you the edge!”

Regional Student Leader of the Year
Award winner
“It’s an honour winning this award and I am
very grateful to Golden Key International
Honour Society to be chosen as Canada’s
Student Leader of the Year! This award will
help pay for my tuition for my first year of
medical school in September.”
The Deakin University chapter piloted its first Leadership Experience Day for over 30 regional high school students in
collaboration with the University’s Equity & Diversity Unit. These students were selected from 5 schools in low socio-
economic areas, and came from environments where they do not receive a lot of support and face numerous social and
financial obstacles. The program saw students complete exercises to help them define leadership qualities in the areas
of politics, art, business, and in the community. The students then had a chance to listen to a keynote speech given
by Australian UN Youth Ambassador, Ben Grooms, who talked about his leadership journey. All the students were
presented with information, resources, and show bags with information from local community youth organisations
that would help them get involved in leadership projects in their community. The feedback from participants was
resoundingly positive and very touching for the GK volunteers involved.

In 2011, the Monash University chapter
ran an Amazing Race around Melbourne
city titled the “Race Against Depression”
to raise funds for the Lifeline
foundation, responsible for raising
awareness of available resources and
educating people to help battle youth
depression. The event saw teams of
competitors solve clues and challenges
at specific locations to finish the race.
Over $8,000 was donated, and over 100
individuals participated in the event.

“We all know that serving others is good
for the soul, but I am always surprised at
how much I learn about the other two
pillars through service. Serving offers a
tremendous opportunity to apply much of
our academic knowledge and to practice
and hone our skills in leadership. Service
often appears to be the little brother
to the other two pillars, but is through
service that academics and leadership are
grounded in reality. If you want to put
your academic knowledge into practice,
and want real experience in leadership,
find a place to serve.”
anna KrJaTianUniversity of Western Sydney
Former Chapter Vice President
“As part of Golden Key’s initiative to engage
with community service, in 2011, the UWS
Chapter has taken part in the Midnight
Basketball project, where we engaged with
the young members of the community and
provided them with workshops on Anti-
Bullying. It was so amazing to interact with
the youth of the community, to hear their
perspectives on the issues, to provide them
with insight and to see their transformation
and enthusiasm within the short amount
of time. As such, the benefits of community
services enable us (I believe) to become fuller,
well-rounded individuals of, and for, our society.”

“I am honoured to be selected as one of
“Education and community always go hand
in hand. It gives me immense pleasure to be a
part of Golden Key because it has helped me
to realize how we can be a part of community
service. Being a part of Golden Key gives me
the opportunity to meet new people and not
only work with them but also learn new things
from them. Golden Key blends academics,
leadership and community service in such a way
that one feels an overall personal development
while being a member. I feel worthy knowing
that I can help my peers and community by
participating in community service.”
The University of British
Columbia (UBC) chapter won a
Golden Key Service Award and is
using the money to collaborate
with the UBC Wellness Center
and the Vancouver School Board
to educate about Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus (T2DM). T2DM is
Canada’s fastest growing disease—one that diagnoses 65,000
Canadians each year, and students are especially at risk due to their
diet and lifestyles. T2DM is completely preventable, so education in the
preventative realm is the chapter’s first step.
The Golden Key
Stellenbosch chapter
made 2,050 sandwiches
with nearly 200

2011 that were given to

The sandwiches were distributed to the needy at 15
locations in the Stellenbosch area, including schools in
Ida’s Valley, Cloetesville, Kayamandi and Jamestown.
