Nine Pioneers were named to the Dean's List after the fall semester, the most in one semester since I've been tracking it. The previous high was four in the Spring of 2011 (Drew Blumberg - BioChem, Seth Howard - Psychology, Chris Jarmon - English, and TJ Schaid - BioChem). It is also important to note that nine Pioneers represents over 20% of our roster.
In order to be named to the Dean's List an individual must maintain a semester GPA of 3.75 or higher while carrying 16 credits, 14 of which must be regular letter-grade credits. The recipients this semester were:
Scott Beecher '18 - Undeclared
Joe Galaske '17 - Undeclared
Eddie Guen-Murray '15 - Biological Chemistry
Ed Hardman '16 - English
Harrison Hoegh '18 - Undeclared
Matt Medrano '17 - Undeclared
Ibuki Ogasawara '17 - Undeclared
Will Rebelsky '17 - Chemistry and Math
Greg Ruzich '16 - Biological Chemistry
It's important to note that Jacob Beecher (Dean's List in the Fall of '13 and the Spring of '14) and David Ternes both also met the GPA requirement, but didn't meet the credit requirement.
Congratulations to all of you. It is great to see you continue the tradition of the true student-athlete at Grinnell College.
