Northwestern University in Qatar recently celebrated the successes of students who demonstrated academic excellence, securing their spots on the fall semester Dean’s List.

The list comprises communication majors who achieved a 3.75 grade point average (GPA) on three graded courses, and journalism majors who achieved a 3.7 GPA on three graded courses or, if on residency, completed two graded courses in addition to their residency.

The top achievers “have worked hard to benefit from NU-Q’s practical field experience and a world-class media and liberal arts curriculum—they have developed skills to impact the media landscape, regionally and worldwide,” said NU-Q dean and CEO Everette E. Dennis.

“I, along with NU-Q faculty and staff, would like to congratulate the recognized students, who have demonstrated a deep commitment to the pursuit of academic and creative excellence,” he added.
