A campus where everyone belongs.

As part of a campus tradition established in 2019, the Pride flag is flying alongside the American and Virginia flags at Heritage Plaza in front of Godwin Hall—symbolizing our ongoing commitment to inclusion, respect, and belonging for all members of the Marlin community.

Happy Pride Month, Marlins 🏳️‍🌈

Congratulations to the 156 students on the President’s List who achieved a 4.0 grade point average for spring 2026, and to the 288 students on the Dean’s List who achieved a 3.5-3.99 grade point average for the spring semester! 📚📑

To qualify for these honors, students must have full-time status and must have taken at least nine semester hours of traditionally graded courses.

We are proud to recognize so many students among the University’s top performers this semester. Their hard work, determination, and commitment to academic excellence have earned this well-deserved distinction. Congratulations, Marlins, on this impressive achievement!
