Kaelan Eleshio Named to Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Fall 2024 Dean's List

2025 Jan 30

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has announced that Kaelan Eleshio, a member of the class of 2028 majoring in Environmental Engineering, was named to the university's Dean's List for academic excellence for the fall 2024 semester.

The criteria for the WPI Dean's List differ from that of most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI students are named to the Dean's List based on the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and hands-on projects. A total of 2,393 undergraduate students achieved these criteria for WPI's fall 2024 Dean's List.

"WPI's academic programs are rigorous and require a level of independence beyond what is required in traditional courses. WPI students work on real-world, open-ended problems on campus and in communities around the globe. Far from being simple academic exercises, the projects students complete have genuine and lasting impacts in our partner communities," said Provost Andrew Sears. "Some of this nation's best and brightest students come to WPI to study engineering, science, 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."
