This year it included
A nice FRC bag with Deans list embroidered on the front - The nicest item
A nice travel mug that also says Deans list on it
Cheap Headphones from amazon that cost around $25
A $25 Amazon Gift Card
and a Teddy Bear

2. The prestige of EI and Chairmans motivate many teams to do outreach that they otherwise would not do. After a bit of outreach many teams realize how rewarding it realize is and continue. If making the Deans list award seem more prestigious therefore inspiring more motivated Student Leader then whats the issue? Who cares why someone was motivated to become a student leader if they are good at it, learn something, and inspire others then the award succeeded with its goal.
