Danbury Residents Earn Dean's List at Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Announces Fall 2017 Dean's List

The following Danbury residents were among 1,608 students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) named to the university's Dean's List for academic excellence for the fall 2017 semester.

Andrew Montero - a member of the class of 2020 majoring in aerospace engineering.

Maggie Kuck - a member of the class of 2019 majoring in chemical engineering.

Julian Lanson - a member of the class of 2020 majoring in computer science.

Peter Maida - a member of the class of 2020 majoring in computer science.

Grace Antedomenico - a member of the class of 2021 majoring in computer science.

The criteria for the WPI Dean's List differs from most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI defines the Dean's List by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects.

"WPI's academic programs are rigorous and require a level of independence beyond what is required in traditional courses. WPI students go beyond the classroom to work on open-ended problems in and for communities around the world. The problems are important and the impact is real" said dean of undergraduate studies Arthur C. Heinricher. "Some of this nation's best and brightest students come to WPI to study engineering and science and 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."
