Earning their degrees to making the Dean’s and President’s lists, local college students are finding success.

Occasionally the Sun Times News recieves updates about local students succeeding at the college and university level. Here are a few recent ones.

At Indiana’s Trine University this spring, students completed degrees at the end of the Spring 2024 semester, including Abigail Bost of Chelsea, earning a degree in Sport Management.

In addition, some students were named to the Dean’s List for the Spring 2024 semester. To earn Dean’s List honors, students must complete a minimum of 12 hours and have a grade point average of 3.500-3.749. This also included Bost of Chelsea.

A couple of local students also made Trine’s President’s List for the Spring 2024 semester. To earn President’s List honors, students must complete a minimum of 12 hours and have a grade point average of 3.750-4.000.

The following area students were named to the President’s List:
• Zachary Norris of Dexter, majoring in Mechanical Engineering

At the University of the Cumberlands, the school congratulated Nityashree Khatiwara of Dexter on graduating from the university.

In its announcement, Cumberlands said, “Just under 6,000 students make up this year’s graduating class. Approximately 170 graduates completed an associate degree, 1,250 finished a bachelor’s degree, 3,770 received a master’s degree, 270 completed an educational specialist degree, and 530 earned a doctoral degree. Graduates represented many different ages, ethnicities, backgrounds, and cultures, but they all now have one thing in common: they made it!”

And finally here in Michigan at Kalamazoo College, a number of Chelsea students earned Dean’s List honors in Winter 2024. Dean’s List recognition is earned with a grade point average of 3.5 or better.

They are: Gavin Crawley, Emma Frederiksen, Chelsea Paddock, Indigo Philippe, Kiersten Sjogren and Florian Ziolkowski.
