Thursday, January 18, 2024

OMAHA, Neb. – College of Saint Mary announces its president’s honor roll and dean’s list for outstanding undergraduate academic performance for the fall 2023 semester. In total, 86 students were named to the president’s honor roll, while 108 were named to the dean’s list.

“Congratulations to our students for the hard work they put in during the semester to earn this tremendous honor,” said Kimberly Allen, PhD, vice president of academic and student affairs. “I’m so proud of them, their accomplishments and their commitment to excellence.”

To qualify for CSM’s president’s honor roll, students must earn a 3.9 GPA or higher after completing at least 12 semester hours as a full-time student. Students must earn a 3.5 GPA or above for inclusion on the dean's list.
