Jermaine Bookhart, a junior Visual Communications major from Clinton, Maryland, celebrated his third time on the Dean's List.

"It feels amazing to be part of the Dean's List," Bookhart said. "Earning a 3.7 GPA boosts your self-esteem, placing you among a group of students with a 3.5 GPA or higher.

As a junior, Bookhartsaid he is motivated to make the Dean's List even more in the future.
