WPI
A total of 2,393 undergraduate students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) were named to the university’s fall 2024 Dean’s List. The criteria for the WPI Dean’s List differ from that of most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI students are named to the Dean’s List based on the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and hands-on projects.
“WPI’s academic programs are rigorous and require a level of independence beyond what is required in traditional courses. WPI students work on real-world, open-ended problems on campus and in communities around the globe. Far from being simple academic exercises, the projects students complete have genuine and lasting impacts in our partner communities,” said Provost Andrew Sears. “Some of this nation’s best and brightest students come to WPI to study engineering, science, business, and the humanities. Those named to the Dean’s List have excelled in all of their work, and we are exceptionally proud of these outstanding students.”
The following students were named to the Dean’s List for Fall 2024:
Emily Azevedo of Watertown, Massachusetts, class of 2025, majoring in Biology and Biotechnology and Professional Writing
Kaitlyn Fitzpatrick of Watertown, Massachusetts, class of 2027, majoring in Mechanical Engineering
Aidan Flanagan of Watertown, Massachusetts, class of 2026, majoring in Civil Engineering
