Another resume question: "cum laude" or "with honors"?

One of my sons graduated with two different kind of “honors.” (One might have been “distinction” - I don’t recall.) One was GPA and the other was an honors program. I doubt that it seriously matters to anyone what you call it. Either term gets the message across, and I don’t think there’s any question of fudging your resume by using one rather than the other. They are synonyms.

Consolation - I think you’d be surprised about what people in a position to recruit and hiregraduates do and don’t know. :)
