WORCESTER, MA – The following local residents were among 1,337 students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) named to the university’s Dean’s List for academic excellence for the fall 2012 semester.
Francis Ascioti of Westfield, Mass., is a junior majoring in mechanical engineering.
Benjamin Senecal of Montgomery, Mass., is a sophomore majoring in computer science.
Thomas Hoctor of Westfield, Mass., is a freshman majoring in chemical engineering.
The criteria for the WPI Dean’s List differs from 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.
