Columbus resident Stefanie Geisler, a Northeastern University student majoring in journalism, was recently named to the University’s dean’s list for the spring semester, which ended in May 2011.

To achieve the dean���s list distinction, students must carry a full program of at least four courses, have a quality point average of 3.5 or greater out of a possible 4.0 and carry no single grade lower than a C- during the course of their college career. Each student receives a letter of commendation and congratulation from their college dean.

In addition to achieving distinction through the dean’s list, Geisler is a member of the University Honors Program, which offers high caliber students the chance to further hone their studies and interests, live in special interest on-campus housing, and participate in one or two honors courses each term. Invitation into the honors program is highly competitive and students must maintain a high GPA and strong commitment to campus leadership to remain a part. Currently, Geisler is among some 1,400 students involved in Northeastern’s honors program.

Northeastern University is a global, experiential research university. Grounded in its signature co-op program, Northeastern today provides experiential learning opportunities around the world. The University’s rapidly growing research enterprise is strategically aligned with three national imperatives: health, security and sustainability.
