TIFTON — Students who achieved academic excellence in their course work during the fall term were recently recognized at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.


ABAC cites its top academic students each semester on the president’s list, the dean’s list and the distinguished achievement list.


The president’s list is the highest academic honor possible for ABAC students. ABAC President David Bridges said each student on the list attained an “A” in every subject, resulting in a perfect 4.0 grade-point average. The students had to carry a minimum of 12 hours of academic work.


Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs Niles Reddick said the students who qualified for the dean’s list attained a minimum grade-point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and carried at least 12 hours of academic work.


The distinguished achievement list is composed of students who complete between six and 11 hours of academic work with a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale. The purpose of this list is to recognize excellence and scholastic achievement among part-time students.


Making the dean’s list from Guyton are Sarah L. Donnell and Eugene O. Jones.


Making the dean’s list from Springfield is Emily A. Mier.
