A JMU news release noted that students who earn president’s list honors must carry at least 12 graded credit hours and earn a GPA of 3.900 or greater. 

Among the James Madison students to meet those standards this spring were Riley Benson, of Courtland, Emilie Howell, of Courtland, and Kaitlyn Martin, of Franklin.

Benson is majoring in nursing, Howell is majoring in communication sciences and disorders, and Martin is majoring in art.
