Local students make Worcester Polytechnic Institute dean’s list
Share
WORCESTER, Mass. Five local students have been named to the 2020 fall dean’s list at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
They include Braden Ballard of Fairfield, a junior majoring in civil engineering; Bryce Bragdon of Windsor, a sophomore majoring in aerospace engineering; Brett Foster of Fairfield, a junior majoring in electrical & computer engineering; Brock Jolicoeur of Waterville, a sophomore majoring in physics; and Rowan Labaugh of Augusta, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering.
The criteria for the institute’s dean’s list differs from most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average. Instead, it defines the dean’s list by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects.
