Oakton Resident Named to College Dean's List

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has announced Andrew Feeney of Oakton, a sophomore majoring in Computer Science, was named to the university's Dean's List for academic excellence for the spring 2011 semester.

A total of 945 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI's spring 2011 Dean's List. The criteria for the WPI Dean's List differ from 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 remarkably rigorous, so being named to the WPI Dean's List is a testament to hard work, a sharp mind, and a commitment to excellence," Provost Eric Overstrõm said. "Some of this nation's best and brightest students come to WPI to learn subjects ranging from engineering to science to business and the humanities, and through our innovative project-based curriculum they conduct professional-level research and solve important problems all over the world. Those who are named to the Dean's List have excelled at facing such demanding challenges, and we are exceptionally proud of these outstanding students."
