Academic Achievers Share Tips for Making the Dean鈥檚 List

国产主播 Orange County students who made the dean鈥檚 list were rewarded with a special reception for their hard work. The dean鈥檚 list recognizes students who have achieved a GPA of 3.75 or better in a term and is a welcome distinction for those looking to excel. The most recent term saw over 400 students at the Orange County campus make the dean鈥檚 list.

The reception featured refreshments and treats as a break from the student鈥檚 day. Also in attendance were campus leaders who congratulated the students and presented them with their award. Students were invited to share what it is that got them on the dean鈥檚 list with each other and with us. Take a look at what a few of the students had to say below!

“For me I think it鈥檚 getting my priorities straight, doing time management. I just keep myself focused and keep my eyes on the prize that I want to be in nursing, I want to get my license. And it鈥檚 a career that I know I have such a passion for.” – Justin De Leon, BSN

“It鈥檚 not about motivation, I only do time management. Doing calendar work, putting everything in. When I get the syllabus that鈥檚 the first thing I do and then I study all the time, that鈥檚 the only thing. And then the reward is getting a good grade.” – Serli Shaverdi, BSDH

“Pretty much staying focused the whole time, keeping a calendar, making sure that I keep my schedules organized. Having a set schedule of study time, break time, just to make sure that I keep myself going so then I don鈥檛 stray away from the good study habits.” – Karla Vega, BSN

“I give myself breaks and rewards because you definitely need it, you need to relax.” – Kelsie Vosper, BSDH

“I do the same thing as Kelsie but overall, just time management I guess, and motivating myself from within.” – Bahareh Lajvardi, BSDH
