Township Residents Make Marks In Nation’s Colleges

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has announced that KiJana Haney, a member of the class of 2016 majoring in chemical engineering, was named to the university’s Dean’s List for academic excellence for the spring 2016 semester.

A total of 1,292 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI’s spring 2016 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.
