Benchikhi Named to WPI’S Dean’s List
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has announced that Youssef Benchikhi, a member of the class of 2025 majoring in Computer Science, was named to the university’s Dean’s List for academic excellence for the spring 2024 semester.
A total of 2,226 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI’s spring 2024 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.”
