Demonstrating Academic Excellence, Rachel Lanam, of Sebastian, Named to the Prestigious Assumption College Dean's List

2017 Jan 10

Assumption College has announced that Rachel Lanam, a member of the Class of 2017 from Sebastian, is one of 486 students named to the College's prestigious undergraduate Dean's List for the fall 2016 semester. To earn a spot on the Dean's List, Assumption students must achieve a grade point average of 3.5 or higher for a five-class, 15-credit semester. The Dean's List is announced twice per academic year, once at the completion of the fall semester, and again at the completion of the spring semester.

"The College is proud to formally recognize those students who have achieved a level of academic excellence through their dedication, hard work and commitment to their studies, resulting in their inclusion on the College's prestigious Dean's List," said Assumption College President Francesco C. Cesareo, Ph.D. "Assumption students are challenged to pursue excellence in all aspects of life, reflective of the words of Fr. Emmanuel d'Alzon, founder of the Augustinians of the Assumption, who described Christian education as striving to shape one's whole being. This significant academic achievement is indicative of individuals who will graduate from the College prepared to use their knowledge to make meaningful contributions to society."

The Assumption College curriculum enables students to gain a depth and breadth of knowledge that leads to professional success and personal fulfillment. Students-whether studying on the Worcester, Massachusetts or Rome, Italy campus-become engaged participants in Assumption's classic liberal arts education and professional programs, exploring new ideas, making connections across disciplines, and pushing themselves to achieve more than they ever thought possible. To prepare for the workforce, students learn cutting-edge theory and best practices, and develop excellent communication and critical-analysis skills - quintessential skills of a liberal arts education - through classroom work, internships, and involvement in extracurricular activities.
