La Crescenta residents David Komjathy, who is attending the College of Agricultural & Life Science, earned a spot on the dean’s list and Charles Pingry, attending the School of Human Ecology, earned a spot on the dean’s honor list at The University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Students who achieve at a high level academically are recognized by the dean at the close of each semester. To be eligible for the dean’s list, students must complete a minimum of 12 graded degree credits in that semester. Each university school or college sets its own GPA requirements for students to be eligible to receive the distinction. Most call the honor “dean’s list” but some grant the “dean’s honor list” and “dean’s high honor list.”
