Emily Hofmann of Tega Cay has been named to the Dean’s List at the Georgia Institute of Technology for the Spring 2025 semester, earning recognition for her academic performance.
To qualify for the Dean’s List, undergraduate students must achieve a semester GPA of 3.0 or higher. Georgia Tech publicly honors these students as part of its continued commitment to academic achievement and student success.
