Twenty-one students were inducted into the Cum Laude Society on Thursday, October 10. The keynote speaker was Patrick J. Schuermann, Assistant Professor of the Practice, Department of Leadership, Policy, as well as Organizations Program Director of the Independent School Leadership at Vanderbilt University.

A national organization begun in 1906, the Cum Laude Society recognizes students who have distinguished themselves for academic excellence. The society makes clear academic excellence does not refer only to superior scholarly achievement but also to the qualities of dignity and honor in pursuit of those achievements. The Cum Laude Society’s motto, “Areté, Diké, Timé,” means “excellence, justice, and honor.”
