Two hundred and seventy-one Michigan State University graduates accomplished something many students dream of — a perfect college GPA. 

During its April 11 meeting, the MSU Board of Trustees presented these graduating seniors with the Board of Trustees’ Award, recognizing their achievement of the highest scholastic average one can receive, a 4.0 GPA.

In addition to receiving the board’s recognition, students also will be acknowledged during the spring commencement ceremonies and will receive a cord highlighting their accomplishments.
