Nichols College, Dudley MA

• Jayleen Fegan, a Nichols College student from Mansfield Center, has achieved Dean's List for the fall 2018 semester at Nichols College. Approximately 600 Nichols students earned Dean's List or Dean's High Honors during the fall 2018 semester. The Dean's List recognizes students who achieve high grades during a single semester. In order to be included in the Dean's List, a student must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.2 for at least 12 credit-hours and receive no grade below a C+ during the semester. A student who earns a grade point average of 3.6 or higher is awarded Dean's High Honors.

Southern Connecticut State University, New Haven CT

• Victoria Lacafta of Mansfield was named to the dean's list at Southern Connecticut State University for the fall 2018 semester. In order for undergraduate students to qualify for the dean’s list, students must complete 12.0 or more credits in fall or spring and earn a semester GPA of 3.5 or better.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester MA

• Three Mansfield residents were among 1,595 students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) named to the university's Dean's List for academic excellence for the fall 2018 semester: Noah Donald, a member of the class of 2020 majoring in mechanical engineering, and electrical and computer science; William Cooley, a member of the class of 2021 majoring in aerospace engineering; and Malek Elshakhs, 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.
