Fourteen USAO students were inducted in the HYPATIA Honor Society, USAO’s only campus wide honor society, on March 29, 2004 at a noon luncheon. The Hypatia Honor Society was founded in 1923 to honor students for their high academic achievements, character and integrity, and service to the university and their community. The honor society was named after Hypatia, the famous Greek female mathematician. Students are selected for Hypatia by a faculty committee, and it is not possible for any student to apply for membership in the Honor Society.
