C-W students land on PLU Dean’s List

Local students were recently named to the Pacific Lutheran University Dean’s List.

Ryan Erdwins of Washougal and Louis Lindner of Camas made the list.

The dean’s list recognizes outstanding academic achievement and requires a grade point average of at least 3.5 for the term. Dean’s List standing becomes part of a student’s official transcript and is a distinguishing factor for students going on to graduate or professional school.

PLU, with a student body of 3,500, is located in Parkland, Wash., near Tacoma.
