Celebrating Academic Excellence - Fall 2023 Dean's List and Honors
By Dean Larry Gossen, PhD
One thing I look forward to after each semester is seeing the list of students who made the Dean’s list or the Honor Roll. These students have proven they are focused on their education, dedicated to quality, and committed to hard work. They understand that their education is a valuable asset that will be there for the rest of their lives.
In addition to this list of 64 students, many made strides in reaching personal goals in academics, a team competition, or personal achievements. We are proud of all these students and look forward to watching them continue to achieve success as they advance their education.
This week, I had the honor of signing letters for 64 full-time students who made the Dean’s List or the Dean’s Honor Roll. The fifteen highest achievers earned a perfect 4.0 grade point average for the Dean’s List, with the remaining 49 students scoring from 3.5 to 3.99. Remarkably, the honorees represented nine states.
