So in closing, I’d like to personally quote Dean Kamen, in hopes that all of this year’s 2012 Super Stars continue to surpass the expectations of FIRST, and be reminded by saying:

“This trophy will make them feel guilty that they’re not doing enough for FIRST when they look at it“.

Keep in touch, finalists!

2010 Boston Regional Finalist,

Crystal Vongnaphone.

Tshirts have arrived!

Hey there, finalists!

I’ve gotten your 2012 Dean’s List Finalist tshirts, and they’re ready for me to hand deliver / distribute!

So if you missed the Meet & Greet Friday evening, no worries, you’ll still get your tshirt!

A note to those who arrived at the Championship / saw the orders late: I will be doing a SECOND order! $15 will remain as the flat rate, so long as I get a good number of orders. If that is the case, shipping will be covered! So contact me (kawaiineko411 [at] gmail [dot] com), and we’ll make arrangements!

We still need to organize for a photo-op for all of you!

Cheers!

Crystal.

Shirt Order Period Ending Soon!

Hey guys! If you want to order a tshirt, the donation link is password protected. Join the Facebook group here.

I’ve got 21 tshirt orders so far, and will be calling them in at 9pm TODAY eastern standard time! This is so that we have them in time for Championships.

This is the final design (VIEW ONLY):

For those of you asking how to get them if you’re not at Championships, you still order them by making a payment on Paypal, and then make note of it in the comments section, and then I will email you post Championships to arrange for shipping.

***ORDERS AND PAYMENTS WILL BE TAKEN UNTIL WEDNESDAY THE 18TH @ 9pm EST***

If payments are made after 5pm, there is no guarantee that you will have a shirt reserved for yourself at Championships. Your funds will be held in the Paypal account until I make a second order of shirts post Championships (depending on popularity). Otherwise, I will refund you via Paypal. I cannot guarantee that Paypal will refund the full amount you paid though. So by submitting a payment after 5pm, you are agreeing to the terms that you may not get your full $15 back if requesting a refund.

Thanks!
Crystal.

The Dean’s List Quilt Project

So, as a way to bring something of a memento from the Class of 2012, Alexander Ouellet (2011/2012 finalist) has organized an extensive project. If you are a 2012 Dean’s List finalist, check out the Chief Delphi thread link here:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105142

It seems like something really amazing to be a part of, to immortalize who the members of the Class of 2012 really are; the effect all 114 individuals, all unique in their beliefs/morals/actions, to the overall mission and growth of FIRST.

Welcome!

Welcome to “it’s the dean’s list.”, the site for the FRC Dean’s List. It started as a thread on the popular forum site Chief Delphi, and now it’s a website for all to see. As a Dean’s List member myself,  it’s amazing to see the 19 other members from the 2 classes of winners previous (Classes of ’10 & ’11), and see the individual impacts that each of them have made to their own communities and FIRST.

But, it’s not just the 20 that make up the Dean’s List as a group.

There have been 194 deserving students over the past two years that have been designated Dean’s List Finalist members for their participation & service within FRC, FIRST as a whole, and their own teams/schools/communities/states/nations. And each one of them have made and are hopefully continuing making a large impact on our culture and generation. So, let’s see what happens this year!

If you can, just PM me or post on the Chief Delphi thread of the Dean’s List students from your individual regionals, and we’ll keep a running tally on the thread of the students.  Or if you’re an avid fan of Twitter like me, tweet when it happens! You can tweet me directly (@iamlegend360); or tweet the result using the hashtag #itsthedeanslist.

Congrats to the incoming class of 2012, and GO FIRST!

-Kyle J., Member of Peachtree & Championship Classes of 2010
