Re: FRC Blogged - Something New – FIRST Dean’s List Changes

Interesting change. I personally think in theory it seems like a good idea, as it puts a face to the essay, and truly gives the judges a feel for who the students are.

With that said in practicality time will only tell if it works or not. With that said I'm excited to see this change and what happens.

As for the Sophomore/Junior Requirement, I understand this brings Dean's List Recipients more in line with FIRST's intent of the award, however I feel this part of the change isn't going to go over exactly well. Many teams still treat it as a Senior Award, and many students are going to get left out because of this.
