Janet Plucknette Named to Genesee Community College Fall 2014 Provost's List

2015 Jan 21

Janet Plucknette a resident of Spencerport, NY was among 233 students from Genesee Community College named to the new Provost's List for the Fall 2014 semester. The Provost's List was created to recognize part-time students who have earned a grade point average of 3.75 (roughly equivalent to an A) or better.

Previously the College recognized these students on its Dean's List, which honors part- time and full-time students with a Grade Point Average of 3.50 to 3.74. Some part-time students who had earned a higher GPA had expressed disappointment that their stellar performance was going unrecognized.

"Part-time students often are juggling myriad responsibilities and often work that much harder to earn top scores," said Dr. Kathleen (Kate) Schiefen, GCC provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. "We felt it made sense to recognize their achievements separately and applaud the outstanding contributions they make in our classrooms every day."

GCC will release its Dean's List, recognizing full-time and part-time students with a grade point average of 3.50 to 3.74 in the coming days.
