This is one of those things I've had to work through in past situations like this. Does it need a four-and-surely-more-page thread on CD? Probably not. But that doesn't invalidate the OP's observation (or OP's frustration at FIRST's response). It really just needs to go in the prep notes for the Dean's List presentation next year, when it will be reviewed by the relevant people going into it. Simple, effective. Repeat for other presentations as desired.

(and if you other people are going to insist on bingo cards then why isn't "it's spelled Woodie" not one of the spaces?)
