Against the backdrop of the Hudson River, where the historic campus of Mount Saint Mary College has stood since 1959, nearly 300 students have distinguished themselves this spring through academic excellence.
Among them, a group of New Jersey scholars earned their place on the prestigious Dean’s List, demonstrating not just intellectual rigor but the discipline to sustain it.
To qualify, each student carried at least 12 graded credits while maintaining a semester GPA of 3.5 or higher—a benchmark that separates casual effort from true scholarly commitment.
The achievement speaks to more than grades; it reflects late-night study sessions, meticulous research, and the resilience to balance coursework with the demands of life beyond the classroom.
From Bound Brook to Vineland, these New Jersey honorees represent the diversity of their home state’s talent:
- Melanie Morales of Bound Brook
- Kaelyn Donoghue of Brick
- William Kelly of Florham Park
- Luke Dombroski of Fredon Township
- Tyler Crocitto of Marlboro
- Connor Cyran of Montvale
- Beatrice Kildare and Julianna Locurto, both of New Egypt
- Kyle Giuliano and Allison Yeneic, both of Old Bridge
- Daniel Mack of Ramsey
- Matthew Connolly of Sparta
- Angelina Mainiero of Vineland
Their success is a testament to the Dominican Sisters’ founding vision—an institution where academic ambition meets ethical purpose.
Mount Saint Mary College, ranked #84 among Regional Universities North, continues to foster minds capable of critical thought and civic engagement, proving that excellence is not confined by geography.
As these students return to their studies or step into new challenges, their achievement stands as both a personal milestone and a reminder: dedication, when paired with opportunity, yields results worth celebrating.
