(February 2, 2024) — The following students from our area have been named to the Fall 2023 Dean’s List at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts:
Jimmy Clemente from Killingworth, Class of 2024, majoring in Mechanical Engineering
Andrew Conti from Killingworth, Class of 2026, majoring in Mechanical Engineering
Kristen Thebeau from Haddam, Class of 2027, majoring in Computer Science
A total of 2,299 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI’s Fall 2023 Dean’s List. The criteria differ from those 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.
“WPI’s academic programs are rigorous and require a level of independence beyond what is required in traditional courses. WPI students work on open-ended problems for communities around the world. The problems are important and the impact is real,” said Professor Arthur 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.”
