Saint Augustine’s University (SAU) proudly announces the outstanding academic achievements of its students across the Spring 2024, Fall 2024, and Spring 2025 semesters, highlighting the resilience, excellence, and Falcon Pride that continue to define the institution’s legacy.

In total, 365 full-time students received recognition on the Dean’s List for the Spring 2024 semester, and 85 full-time students earned Dean’s List honors for the Fall 2024 semester. The academic distinction did not stop there—292 full-time students achieved Provost’s List honors for Spring and Fall 2024, while 125 students earned a spot on the President’s List during the same time frame. An additional 50 scholar-athletes were honored for balancing rigorous academic standards with athletic commitments.

“These results tell a remarkable story of persistence, excellence, and community spirit,” said SAU Interim President Dr. Marcus H. Burgess. “Through every challenge, our students have demonstrated a level of resilience that gives us all great hope for the future—not only for Saint Augustine’s but for the communities and industries our graduates will serve.”

As of the current Spring 2025 semester, 47 full-time students earned Provost’s List honors, and 31 students achieved President’s List recognition. Notably, half of SAU’s student body has earned Dean’s List honors for the third consecutive semester, a powerful testament to the university’s tireless commitment to academic excellence despite challenges.

“These achievements are a testament to the hard work of our students and the support and dedication of our faculty and staff,” said Dr. Verjanis A. Peoples, Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. “We proudly celebrate their successes and reaffirm SAU’s mission of preparing ethical leaders and changemakers.”

In addition to celebrating academic honors, SAU is proud to recognize three outstanding seniors who have earned top honors within their respective schools:

• School of Arts, Social Sciences & Communications: J’niyah Love (Criminal Justice)
• School of Business, Management & Technology: Cameron Moore (Business Administration)
• School of Science, Mathematics & Allied Health: K’Shundra Holley (Public Health Science)

These students will cross the stage during SAU’s 2025 Commencement and 94th Baccalaureate Exercises on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 11 a.m. at Wake Chapel Church’s Life Enrichment Center in Raleigh, NC.

This academic success comes when SAU prepares for a resurgence fueled by the spirit, faith, and fortitude of its students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters.
