2016 Cum Laude Society
Twenty-eight members of the class of 2016 were inducted into the Cum Laude Society on Thursday evening, May 19. Following an introduction by Head of School Barbara Riley, and a history of the Cum Laude Society by Dean of Academics David Harpin, guest speaker Kate Lupo ’06 spoke to the students and their families about her time at Hopkins and beyond. The Cum Laude Society has the tradition of inviting a Cum Laude member from 10 years ago to return to speak to the new inductees. Kate shared valuable life and career advice with the group, which included urging the students to collect and keep mentors to whom they can go to for advice and inspiration. Kate introduced her own “fairy godmothers” who were in attendance to hear her speak. Read Kate Lupo’s full bio below, and watch her address in the attached gallery.

The Cum Laude logo
Originally named the Alpha Delta Tau fraternity, The Cum Laude Society adopted a stylized version of the Greek letter Tau ( t ) as its logo. Even though the fraternity evolved into the Cum Laude Society in the 1950's, the original logo was retained. It is used on all official publications and on Cum Laude pins to this day. The Greek alphabet developed in classical times (around the 9th century BC) and continues to be used for a variety of other purposes such as mathematical symbols and names of stars. Tau is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet.
