Marblehead Students Earn Honors At Emmanuel, Hartford, WPI

MARBLEHEAD, MA — Noah Goodman, a member of the class of 2024 at Worcester Polytechnic Institute majoring in interactive media and game development technology, was among the Marblehead students recently honored for academic or athletic achievement.

Goodman was named to the Dean's List for the fall 2020 semester.

A total of 2,078 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI's fall 2020 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. 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 rigorous and require a level of independence beyond what is required in traditional courses. WPI students work on open-ended problems for communities around the world. The problems are important and the impact is real" Dean of Undergraduate Studies Arthur C. Heinricher said. "Some of this nation's best and brightest students come to WPI to study engineering and science and business and the humanities. Those named to the Dean's List have excelled in all of their work, and we are exceptionally proud of these outstanding students."

Robert Burns, of Marblehead, was named to the Dean's List at the University of Hartford for Fall 2020.

Molly Sheehan, of Marblehead, has been named to the fall 2020 President's List at Simpson College.

Sheehan qualified for the academic honor by earning a 4.00 grade-point average during the semester. Sheehan attended Marblehead High School.

Kathryn Percy, of Marblehead, earned a spot on the Dean's List at Emmanuel College.

To qualify, students must achieve a grade-point average of 3.5 or above taking 16 course credits.
