Seventy-seven fall semester graduates accomplished an enviable feat throughout their time at Michigan State University — earning a perfect GPA.
During its Dec. 13 meeting, the MSU Board of Trustees presented the graduating seniors with the Board of Trustees Award, which recognizes and honors their achievement of the highest scholastic average one can receive: a 4.0 GPA.
In addition to the award, the students will also be recognized during their individual commencement ceremonies in December and receive a special cord to adorn their robe.
