(Peru, Neb.) – Recently, 72 Peru State student-athletes were named to its Fall 2020 Dean's List.
 
Twelve of thirteen athletic department's programs were represented with at least one or more individuals on either the President's or Dean's List. In order to make Peru State's Dean's List, a student must have a grade point average between 3.50 and 3.99, have completed at least 12 graded credit hours during the past semester, have no incomplete grades for the semester, and be degree seeking. One student-athlete was a dual-sport competitor.
 
Last year, the College introduced the President's List which recognized those with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. Those student-athletes earning that honor were noted in a separate release.
