from Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Mass., has announced that Manchester resident Logan Kippnick, a member of the class of 2027 majoring in Computer Science, was named to the university’s Dean’s List for academic excellence for the fall 2023 semester.

A total of 2,299 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI’s fall 2023 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 (GPA). 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,” said Professor Arthur C. Heinricher. “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.”

WPI, located in Worcester, Mass., is a distinctive, top-tier technological university founded in 1865 on the principle that students learn most effectively by applying the theory learned in the classroom to the practice of solving real-world problems. WPI offers more than 70 bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs across 18 academic departments in science, engineering, technology, business, the social sciences, and the humanities and arts. www.wpi.edu
