Senior Lucienne Papon (Political science/communications major, 3.67 GPA)

Junior Lauren Agrella (Women's studies/international studies major, 3.81 GPA)

Junior Danae Ringelmann (American studies major, 3.71 GPA)

Sophomore Erin Neppel (Exercise psychology/sport science major, 3.49 GPA)

Sophomore Dana Peirce (Biology major, 3.53 GPA).
