Besides the great comments others have posted (particularly Jon), I'd say that if you encounter any resistance to the idea of nominating students for Dean's List, honestly give me that mentor's email and I'll express to them why I feel it's important. I know when I was nominated way back when it seemed a huge honour, and I enjoyed having the opportunity to write our students' nominations last year. Really, I like any chance to recognize outstanding students.
