The Dean's List Award is an amazing honor to have bestowed upon you. While this is a honor, it's also a responsibility; not to be taken lightly. FIRST is something that needs to expand; not only in the aspect of teams in the league, but the real impact we're having in our individual counties, districts, states, & countries in getting people excited about science, math, engineering, & technology. The other thing is about improving the experience of FIRST for the members involved. These are some of the primary missions of the Dean's List. You are the future movers and shakers of FIRST from being the epitome of the FIRST mission; and this award is a step towards creating the next level of excellence for this organization. If you're ready to endeavor on this journey with me, the Dean's List Class of 2010 & the others already chosen this year, I've only got one thing to say.

Welcome to the Dean's List Finalist Class of '11.

Congrats, and I hope to work with you all on making FIRST better and brighter for the next generation.


Michigan State Championships:
1023 - Shelby Beavers

Also, is there a thread where winners are posting the essays their mentors wrote? I'd love to read about the other amazing finalists I might get to meet! Congrats, everyone!

Casey,

Last season, Rich Kressly posted the essay written for Delia Votsch from FRC 1712, as a white paper here in CD. This was the essay.

If you would like to start a thread asking for the essays to be posted, that might be a good idea or they could be uploaded inidividually as white papers like Delia's was. Sometimes, the essays are very personal and the team doesn't feel comfortable posting them in CD - so not everyone participates.

I sent the invite last night, so hopefully you got it!

I can't recall if there was any thread for essay posting this year (or last year) but we did post them in a thread on the FB page.

PLEASE, 2011 DL winners, FRIEND EACHOTHER and join the FB group! It'll help us of the 2010 class get in touch with you and help you with getting around the Championship event.

If you haven't joined the group yet, friend me (Crystal Vongnaphone) and I'll add you! You can also contact: Brandon Dean / Kyle J. Fender.

I'll be posting a thread this coming week about more details on meeting up and steps to getting around Champs as a Dean's list finalist!

Cheers!
Crystal.

Actually, almost all of the 2010 Dean's List finalists are admins.

If you don't feel comfortable friending strangers on facebook, feel free to PM someone from last year and we will get you in the group.

Yup, something like that. We seem to be the most active of all the admins out there, currently though =\
