Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Housing honored nearly 150 Dean’s List recipients Tuesday, Feb. 5, in Evergreen Hall. The annual Dean’s List Reception recognizes University Housing residents who made the fall semester Dean’s List.
The ceremony included remarks from Chancellor Julie Furst-Bowe and Associate Provost Sue Thomas. Students’ families joined campus administrators, faculty members, and housing staff members to support the students’ academic achievements.
“This is an exciting opportunity for University Housing to recognize the high academic achievements of our residents,” said Vicky Dean, assistant director of Residential Education. “It is a priority to support the academic success of our residents, and we are thrilled to honor those who have made a commitment to their academics and have excelled in the classroom.”
In the fall 2012 semester, 811 University Housing residents (23 percent of the on-campus housing population) made the Dean’s List. The criterion for making the Dean’s List is a 3.5 or higher grade point average (GPA). Additionally, 271 of those students earned a 4.0 GPA during the fall semester. The number of on-campus residents achieving the Dean’s List has continued to rise over the past four years.
