Deans’ List

St. Thomas University Honours

363 Students to Deans’ List for 2021-2022

Three hundred and sixty-three students at St. Thomas University have been named to the Deans’ List for the 2021-2022 academic year.

The Deans’ List honours full-time students in Arts and Social Work who achieved a grade point average of 3.7 or better on a minimum of 30 credit hours.

Patricia Forestell, a fourth-year English Language and Literature Honours STUdent from Fredericton, said support from the STU community facilitated both her academic success and personal growth.

“The incredible community here has shaped me into who I am. I have been so lucky to make lifelong friends during my time here, who have helped me grow into the person I am proud to be today.”

Keegan Burns, a third-year History Honours STUdent from New Maryland, didn’t think attaining the Deans’ List was possible, but the learning environment at STU inspired him to push himself academically. “I’ve found a variety of courses offered at STU that I find deeply fascinating and critically challenging, which in turn has allowed me to practice better educational habits,” he said.

He’s also benefitted from the small class sizes and individualized attention from professors.

“I also owe much of my success to the professors at STU who have consistently found ways to keep myself and other students engaged, while offering valuable insight and one-on-one advancement outside the classroom.” •
