We’ve recently received word of six Old Unionites, honoured by the Golden Key International Honour Society. Membership into this international honour society is by invitation only and recognises individuals who show academic excellence in their respective fields in the previous academic year. The Society is made up of the top 15% of students in their selected disciplines. While Golden Key membership begins with academic excellence, the Society’s core mission is to enable members to realize their potential through three pillars: academics, leadership and service.
Rezayda Baartman is currently in her fourth and final year of her Bachelor of Social Work Degree at the NMU.
Tracy-Lee Abels matriculated from Union High School in 2018, is currently in her second year of studies at NMU. She is pursuing her Bachelor of Arts Degree, majoring in English and Anthropology.
