Local St. Martin’s students named to Dean’s List

Auburn students have made the Dean’s list at Saint Martin’s University.

Auburn students Ninalynn B. Benitez and Samuel Duane Larsen were both named to the Saint Martin’s University spring semester 2009 Dean’s List this past week for their outstanding academic achievement.

Selections to the Dean’s List are awarded to undergraduate students who receive a 3.5 GPA or higher, carry at least a 12-semester-hour course load and complete all coursework undertaken for the semester.

Benitez, a Thomas Jefferson High School graduate, was named to the list for her perfect 4.0 GPA. Benitez, a junior majoring in elementary education, also runs for the Saints cross country team.

Also named to the list was Larsen, a sophomore with an undeclared major.
