The University of Kentucky has released its Dean's List for the spring 2017 semester, recognizing students for their outstanding academic performance. To make a Dean’s List in one of the UK colleges, a student must earn a grade point average of 3.6 or higher and must have earned 12 credits or more in that semester, excluding credits earned in pass-fail classes.
Congratulations to all the Gatton College of Business and Economics students listed below who qualified for the Spring 2017 Dean's List.

There is one lesson University of Kentucky alumnus A.J. Hochhalter has learned in his career as a Lexington-based film producer and composer that sticks out more than anything else.
"You're never going to do anything great when you're comfortable," Hochhalter said.
That philosophy, which he believes began while he was a UK student, launched his career as a music composer.
