Flexibility without Compromising Quality
Dean's List for Summer 2020: Lifelong Learning

Congratulations to the following lifelong learning students for making the Summer 2020 Dean’s List.
To qualify for Dean’s List, a student must have a minimum 3.50 GPA on no fewer than 12 credit hours (excluding pass/fail and audited courses). Our university patron, Saint Francis de Sales, had such a high regard for learning that he considered education to be the “eighth sacrament.” With that same esteem, the president, administration, and faculty of the University congratulate these men and women on their outstanding achievement.
