Fall semester Dean’s List announced

April 30, 2015

Northwestern University in Qatar has announced its fall semester Dean’s List that recognizes students who have excelled in their academic studies.

“Students who earn their way onto the Dean’s List demonstrate that learning is their real priority—and that academic achievement is important,” said Everette E. Dennis, dean and CEO of NU-Q. “This group of students exemplifies the NU-Q philosophy of learning through doing. As I look down the list, these students are not only making an impact inside the classroom, they are reaching beyond what is expected.”

The Dean’s List is comprised of 59 students who earned academic distinction in the most recently completed semester. Communication majors must have achieved at least a 3.75 grade point average (GPA) out of 4.0 on three graded courses, and journalism majors must have achieved a 3.7 GPA on three graded courses or, if on residency, two graded courses in addition to their residency.

"It is an honor to be on the Dean’s List, particularly in my graduating year. I could not have made it without the love and support from the faculty and staff. I am forever grateful for all the opportunities provided that allowed to me to grow on a personal and intellectual level,” said Mahdiyeh Seidmahmoodzadeh, a journalism senior.

Nine freshman, nine sophomores, 15 juniors, 18 seniors and eight graduates earned their place on the notable list.
