Croton Resident Named To Honor Society At Holy Cross

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — William Baschwitz of Croton-on-Hudson, majoring in English, has been inducted into the Alpha Sigma Nu Honor Society at College of the Holy Cross, the college announced.

Baschwitz is one of 30 new inductees this year, who exemplify the society's values of excellence in scholarship, loyalty and service.

Selection to Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit honor society founded in 1915, is one of the highest honors that can be given on a Jesuit campus. Candidates for membership are selected from the top 15 percent of their class, and from this group membership will be awarded to only 4 percent.

Alpha Sigma Nu, the only honor society permitted to bear the Jesuit name, encourages its members to a lifetime pursuit of intellectual development, deepening Ignatian spirituality, service to others and a commitment to the core principles of Jesuit education.

Alpha Sigma Nu is one of 19 honor societies on the College of the Holy Cross campus.
