Elissa Heil, dean of the faculty, and Jean Hoover, the registrar, are pleased to announce the 258 students who made it onto the Dean’s List for spring 2020. To receive this honor, a student must maintain a GPA of at least 3.5 for the semester. Given the disruption caused by the closure of campus for the second half of the semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic, achieving this GPA is truly impressive.
Congratulations to all who made the Dean’s List!
