Cum Laude. Springside
School held its first ever Cum Laude Assembly to honor girls who
are intellectually curious, who have consistently produced superior
work, and whose attitudes and character show them to be devoted
to the school and to the idea of a community of learners. Audrey
McNiff, the speaker for the assembly, is the embodiment of those
ideals. She is a partner at Goldman Sachs in New York City and is
the global co-head of the derivatives prime brokerage practice.
Of the more than 22,000 employees at Goldman Sachs, the number of
women at her level is in the single digits. Her work and her success
do honor to the ideals of the Cum Laude Society. Members of the
Cum Laude Society (from back left) are Lua O’Brien (inducted
in 2005), Rachel deBerardinis, Emery Maine, Jane Gray (inducted
in 2005), Karyn Kesselring, and Rachel Frank. First row from left
includes Emma McClafferty, Hannah McDonnell, Rachael Ellis, Alexandra
Levitt, and Emily Bilger. Not pictured is Elizabeth Fox (inducted

Local businesses and volunteers
peppered the Avenue’s sidewalks with new trees on Tuesday,
in a project initiated by the Business Improvement District.
