Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester MA

• Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has announced that Jacob Ganoe of Verno, a member of the class of 2020 majoring in biomedical engineering, was named to the university's Dean's List for academic excellence for the fall 2018 semester. A total of 1,595 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI's fall 2018 Dean's List. The criteria for the WPI Dean's List differs from that of 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.
