Hello everyone! Those of us who had the honor of receiving the Dean’s List Award during the 2024 season have been making a bunch of local efforts to provide DL related assistance to our regions and we thought it would be nice to make this a more widespread opportunity through a discord server.
Beyond just answering questions that people have–we wanted to provide resources such as our own essays along with the questions we were asked and more service such as essay reviews, interview tips, and mock interviews.
We’re in the midst of setting this server up with all the proper organization because we think it’d be cool if this could be re-used over the years and sorta become a stockpile of information and resources.
Let me know if this would be of any interest to anybody and if yall have any tips/suggestions!
I’d be super interested in this! I was recently told that I would be one of our team’s nominees and will happily take any potential advice the winners might have.
While Discord servers are great for live support and such, I think it’s best when resources can also be accessed outside of it (websites, etc.).
I’ve been doing my own resource collecting (Dean's List Resources - Google Drive) with my team and some of the other local ones and would be more than happy to provide support in whatever way you all need, just let me know!
Congrats on your nomination! And I’m glad to hear you’re interested. We’re gonna be working over the weekend to make sure everything is ready for public release
100% agree. The scope of the discord server was primarily to host these mock interviews and to answer any questions on the fly. In each channel we have similar docs pinned with stuff like our essays, tips, etc and we’d love to make them resources accessible outside of the server
Hey we just started releasing the invite to our local regions so I also wanted to drop it here for those interested!! I know @JaiCodes is also another nominee asking.
Before we begin any mock interviews we’re still hashing out all of our availabilties to see who to assign to which time period. Mentors are also allowed to join to access the resources just remember to have the corresponding role and to follow all YPP regulations.
