Three local students were among the more than 440 Berea College students named to the Spring 2024 Dean's List.
The students are Anthony Crowder, Sandra Martinez and Sherisse Rodriguez, all of Chattanooga.
A student is named to the Dean's List who achieves a GPA of 3.4 or higher while passing at least four total credits, a course load equivalent to 16 semester hours.
Officials said, "Berea, the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, focuses on learning, labor, and service.
Supported by Berea's No-Tuition Promise, Berea College admits only academically promising students with limited economic resources, primarily from Appalachia. All students must work 10 hours or more weekly, earning money for books, room and board. The College's motto 'God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth,' speaks to its inclusive character, and the quality of its programs ensures that graduates from Berea go on to distinguish themselves and the College in many fields."
