WORCESTER, Mass. — Eight local students made the 2021 fall dean’s list at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

They include Jacob Bernard of Mechanic Falls, class of 2025, majoring in robotics engineering; Ava Chadbourne of Sweden, class of 2025, majoring in computer science; Hope Hutchinson of Greene, class of 2023, majoring in biology and biotechnology; and Harmoni Larrabee of Lewiston, class of 2023, majoring in computer science.

Also, Serena Mower of Lewiston, class of 2024, majoring in computer science; Cole Ouellette of Mechanic Falls, class of 2024, majoring in computer science; Devon Poisson of Sabattus, class of 2022, majoring in electrical and computer engineering; and Juliet Bolduc of Lewiston, class of 2024, majoring in biochemistry.

The criteria for the WPI dean’s list differs from that of most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average. Instead, WPI defines the dean’s list by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects.
