2 SCV students on Worcester Polytechnic Institute fall 2019 dean’s list

The following local residents were among 1,678 students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) named to the university’s dean’s list for academic excellence for the fall 2019 semester:

  • Sandra Duarte, of Valencia, is a member of the class of 2020 majoring in biomedical engineering.
  • Cameron Williams, of Valencia, is a member of the class of 2021 majoring in electrical and computer engineering.

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, in Worcester, Massachusetts, defines the dean’s list by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects.

Said Dean of Undergraduate Studies Arthur C. 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.”
