"It is an honor to have been selected to be a part of the oldest and most prestigious academic honor society in the United States," said Lauren Klima. "I am also thrilled to have been inducted into the same organization as 17 presidents, 42 Supreme Court Justices, and over 150 Nobel Laureates. I now have a lifelong group of friends who support a love of learning and who advocate for freedom of thought in the arts and sciences!"
