Class of 2026 Cum Laude Ceremony

On Tuesday, May 19 inside the Academic & Performing Arts Center, members of the Class of 2026 were inducted into the Cum Laude Society. A Latin term meaning "with distinction" or "with honor," cum laude is an academic distinction awarded to students who have demonstrated exceptional achievement in their studies.
 
The evening's program included remarks from Head of School Matt Glendinning as well as Philip Alexander Geanakoplos ’16, a Hopkins Cum Laude alumni, who returned to Hopkins as a guest speaker.
