Goshen College announces spring 2005-06 Dean’s List

GOSHEN, Ind. — Goshen College recently recognized 212 students, for excellence in academics, on the 2005-06 spring semester Dean’s List.

The Dean’s List includes students earning at least a 3.8 GPA, while completing at least 12 hours of course work for a letter grade and taking no courses credit-elect. Current seniors who have a cumulative GPA of 4.0 are exempt from the 12-hour criteria and credit-elect. Only grades from the designated semester are included in the Dean’s List selection process.

Students earning at least a 3.6 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) in Goshen College Division of Adult and External Studies also are included in the list – a significant achievement since most DAES students are working adults taking highly personalized night classes.

The college initiated its Dean’s List during the first semester of the 1999-2000 school year as part of its Honors Program, which highlights the college’s liberal arts excellence and includes an honors colloquium for first-year students, honors seminars, an Annual Student Research Symposium, internships and an honors degree. The list celebrates the achievement of students who have met high academic standards and can motivate students preparing for graduate studies, according to Anita Stalter, Goshen’s academic dean, vice president for academic affairs and professor of education.
