13 Seniors and a Faculty Member Inducted Into Cum Laude Society

On Tuesday, April 19, 13 seniors were inducted into the Cum Laude Society during a special ceremony. To be considered for induction as a senior, students had to be in the top fifth of their class and have an honorable overall record. The purpose of the society is to recognize academic excellence. Its motto is "Areté, Diké, and Timé — Excellence, Justice and Honor.” 
 
Areté includes the concept of excellence in the moral sense and is not limited to the ideal of superiority and scholarship, nor does it involve the endeavor of competing primarily for academic goals. Diké includes the concept of what is suitable and appropriate, as well as just. Timé includes the concept of dignity and truth, as well as honor.
 
Senior inductees were selected for their hard work and significant accomplishments at the Academy in pursuit of scholarship and excellence. Acceptance of the honor of membership in this Society comes with the responsibility to make some contribution to the ongoing search for greater understanding of humans and society.  
 
Congratulations to our Spring 2022 Cum Laude inductees - Arianna DiMenna ’22, Nathan Flaherty ’22, Nicholas Hayek ’22, Kelsey Hearns ’22, Isabella Lasecki ’22, Angelina Lonardo ’22, Ava Moe ’22, Kaylee Oliveto ’22, Kristen Oliveto ’22, Mia Polisena ’22, Kathryn Randorf ’22, Desiree Smith ’22 and Sarah Voss ’22. 
 
Additionally, faculty member Dr. Linda Monitello was inducted in recognition of her commitment to scholarship, honor and service.
