Wakefield Students Honored By Assumption

Three Wakefield students were among 539 students named to the Dean's List at Assumption College.

The local students were Shannon Quirk (class of 2019), Aideen Smith (class of 2019), and Marissa Pesce (class of 2020).

To earn a spot on the Dean's List, Assumption students must achieve a grade point average of 3.5 for a five-class, 15-credit semester. The Dean's List is announced twice per academic year, once at the completion of the fall semester, and again at the completion of the spring semester.

"Assumption College is pleased to recognize those students who, through hard work and dedication, have excelled in their academic programs," said Francesco C. Cesareo, Ph.D., President of Assumption College. "Students who have earned the honor to be named to the Dean's List have demonstrated a commitment to, and keen interest in, academic excellence as they immerse themselves in the College's liberal arts curriculum with a foundation in the Catholic intellectual tradition."

Founded in 1904 by the Augustinians of the Assumption in Worcester, Assumption College is a Catholic liberal arts institution that offers undergraduate students 41 majors and 48 minors in the liberal arts, sciences, business, and professional studies; as well as master's and continuing education degrees and professional certificate programs-each through an educational experience that is grounded in the rich Catholic intellectual tradition.
