By Dean Larry Gossen, PhD

At the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture (NCTA), we take immense pride in our exceptional students who take seriously the value of their education in shaping their future careers. The solid foundation they build at NCTA equips them for success, whether they choose to enter the workforce directly or continue their studies at a 4-year institution.

 

Each semester, I have the distinct pleasure of signing letters to congratulate those who have earned their place on the Dean’s List or the Dean’s Honor Roll. The numbers grew again this time, with 68 full-time students earning high marks. The Dean’s List included 17 students attaining a perfect 4.0 grade point average. Additionally, 51 students achieved impressive GPAs ranging from 3.5 to 3.99. Honorees come from 14 different states, exemplifying the diverse mix of students from near and far who are passionate about agriculture, animals, and hands-on learning.

 

We are incredibly proud of each and every student’s progress and successes this year. Their hard work and dedication show the quality of education and support they receive at NCTA. Congratulations to all our honorees for their outstanding accomplishments!
