Shengkun Liu '13 Earns Award at Pomfret School's Fall 2012 Academic Convocation

2012 Oct 10

Shengkun Liu '13 of Greenwich, CT, was recently recognized for academic achievements during the 2011-2012 school year.

During the Convocation, Kate Caspar, assistant head of school for academics, began by reflecting on the change of date of this year's celebration, "After many thoughtful conversations, Mr. Richards and I decided that convocation-which is, in essence, a celebration of learning-ought to be the first official kick-off before classes. I want us to take this moment to reflect on the year ahead as we honor those students who, in one way or another, distinguished themselves in the classroom last year."

Shengkun was awarded the Mathematics Department Award in Statistics and the World Languages Latin 2 Award. In addition, he was inducted into the Cum Laude Society and was named the number two scholar in the Class of 2013. Liu, Jianmin
