Dean's List Finalists

[rsisk]

Dang, if I was a Dean's List Finalist, and in Atlanta, I'd crawl through broken glass to get there.

I'm going to do my best to be at the award ceremony to honor the 10 awesome students who earned this award.

Team 987's Dean's List candidate will be at home with her team since we are unable to attend this year. Any idea how soon and by what method she/we will find out who the final 10 awardees are?

Knowing ChiefDelphi, it'll probably be on here by the end of the day.

Agreed! I also really hope that this is shared on the webcast for all the finalists, their families and teams who are not able to go to Atlanta.

I really appreciate FIRST wanting to make our ceremony distinct and special, and also understand the massiveness of this event and the craziness it must be to schedule this, but I'm very worried that a lot of finalists, teams and mentors won't be able to come. I know it's lunch time and they will probably remind us but I won't lie- if my team was there and I was working on something, talking to a judge, etc., I would skip the award ceremony in a heart beat. I think that very quality is part of why we've all been named finalists.

PS- Thanks for the shout out Sean!!!

::sadface:: I might be missing 1511's Rookie Meet N' Greet for this unless we change the time... which is pending right now.

:x...but hey, we'll all be together! XD I look forward to it.

Just for you Crystal (and for the importance of the Dean's List announcement) Team 1511 will be moving the All Rookie Meet and Greet to Friday right at the end of matches! It sure seems like there is not enough time to do it all in Atlanta!

Good call...the Rookie Meet and Greet can be (fun) pandemonium all by itself...I don't think it would mix well with the Dean's List awards!!

[Chris is me]

FIRST doesn't seem to be doing the best job of timing things... Next year it'll be better though, personally I hope alongside WFA.

I won't be able to make it; I wish the winners well! GO KATIE!

While I'm sure that FIRST has a good reason for picking this time slot (such as the Secretary of Education's schedule) I have a feeling lunch will be really hectic. I'm crossing my fingers that our robot won't break and bringing protein bars to substitute for lunch... since there's always a good chance we'll be queuing for a match right after the break

Does anyone know when the final 10 will be posted? It's 2 days (or so) before and.... no word yet? Just wondering.

From the Dean's List Criteria...


All FIRST Dean's List Finalists (we anticipate there will be 96 FIRST Dean’s List Finalists for the 2010
season) will be considered for the FIRST Dean’s List at the FIRST Championship in Atlanta using the
essays provided from their nominating teams. FIRST Dean's List Finalists do not have to be present at
the FIRST Championship to be considered for advancement to the FIRST Dean's List. This year, ten
Finalists shall be selected at the FIRST Championship (FRC) as the FIRST Dean’s List Award winners.

Just as are posted on the bottom of the awards page for each individual regional I'm sure they will be posted on the awards page for the Championships.

Also, it will probably be posted in this thread later Friday evening.

Good luck to all the finalists!
