10 Jersey Shore Students Earn Top Honors at Alabama

Ten students from Jersey Shore towns are celebrating outstanding academic achievement after earning top honors at the University of Alabama this spring semester.

Five students earned spots on the prestigious President's List with perfect 4.0 GPAs. Jana Hsu, Reagan Scime, and Nicole Woods from Manasquan led the way, joined by Adison Byrne of Sea Girt and Caroline DiBiasi of Spring Lake.

Five more students made the Dean's List with GPAs of 3.5 or higher. Cayley Caccamise of Brielle, Courtney Connellan, Nicholas Olsen, and Rylie Rampone of Manasquan, plus Ryan Sheerin of Sea Girt all earned the academic distinction.

The University of Alabama recognizes thousands of students each semester for exceptional academic performance. The President's List represents the highest achievement, requiring students to maintain flawless grades while taking a full course load.

The Ripple Effect

These ten students represent more than individual success stories. They're proof that small coastal communities are producing scholars who compete at the highest levels, even at major universities over 1,000 miles from home.

Their achievement reflects years of hard work, support from families and teachers back in New Jersey, and dedication to excellence in the classroom. Each student balanced the challenges of college life far from home while maintaining the focus needed for top academic performance.

When students from tight-knit shore communities succeed at universities across the country, they carry their hometowns with them and inspire younger students following in their footsteps.
