Suravi Shrestha Named to Dean’s List at Westminster College

2014 Jan 29

Suravi Shrestha from Lalitpur, NEPAL, was named to the Fall 2013 Academic Dean’s List for exemplary academic performance at Westminster College in Fulton, MO.

The Dean’s List recognizes those Westminster students who have shown high academic performance during the past semester. To be included on the Dean’s List, a student must have a 3.60 semester grade point average with at least 12 hours completed that semester.

A record number of Westminster College students have received this honor for the fall semester 2013. This semester’s total of 385 students represents a 9% increase over last semester and the highest in the school’s history.

Shrestha is a senior at Westminster.

The Dean’s List for fall 2013 included 71 freshmen, 93 sophomores, 83 juniors and 138 seniors.

“In light of the challenging academic program we offer at Westminster, having such a high number of students on the Dean’s List demonstrates the quality student body and high quality student instruction we have here,” says Westminster President Dr. George B. Forsythe. “I congratulate these students for their academic excellence this past semester. We pride ourselves at Westminster on preparing graduates to be leaders for a lifetime. These students represent the best of the best.”

Out of the 385 honorees, 76 students were international. Westminster has consistently come in first among Missouri colleges and universities in the percentage of international students on campus and was named in a tie for fifth place among all liberal arts colleges in the nation.

Founded in 1851, Westminster College is one of the top liberal arts colleges in America, according to all major educational ranking firms including U.S.News & World Report, Forbes magazine, The Princeton Review and Washington Monthly. National high school counselors recognize Westminster as one of the Top Two Liberal Arts Colleges in Missouri to receive the best education. This selective college for men and women operates on two campuses, one an 86-acre residential campus in Fulton, MO, and a second Southwestern urban campus in the vibrant downtown of Mesa, AZ. Westminster is a challenging academic environment where students are educated to lead and inspired to achieve. Ninety-six percent of Westminster graduates start their first job or enroll in graduate or professional schools within six months of graduation.
