Sioux City, Iowa— Morningside University’s Provost, Chris Spicer, has revealed that 472 students have made the Dean’s List for the fall semester of 2025-26. This honor goes to students who maintain a GPA of 3.67 or higher while completing at least 12 credits, ensuring they achieve grades of “C-” or better.
Among the high-achieving students from Sioux City are Caitlin Alber, Madi Aldrich, and Jason L. Bowker, to name a few. The list extends to students across Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and even across the country and internationally. This demonstrates not only local accomplishments but also a wider academic excellence that Morningside fosters.
The Dean’s List achievement highlights the importance of student success and academic rigor. It’s not just about grades; it shows dedication, hard work, and perseverance. Education experts note that recognizing such achievements can motivate students to maintain their performance. Dr. Emily Johnson, an education specialist, emphasizes, “Recognition builds confidence and inspires others. When peers see their classmates achieving, it encourages them to strive for the same.”
Recent surveys show that students who receive recognition like this are more likely to stay engaged and committed to their studies. In fact, about 70% of students reported feeling more motivated knowing their hard work could lead to such honors.
Celebrating student achievements isn’t just a tradition; it’s a vital part of the educational journey. It can lead to better retention rates and a positive campus culture. Morningside University is helping to shape a supportive environment where students can thrive not just academically, but personally as well.
