FIRST Dean's List Award Workshop
2021-02-07 14:00 - 15:00 | Zoom Meeting
In this year of challenges, we have an opportunity to highlight our Indiana student leaders. The FIRST Dean’s List Award, at all levels, recognizes exceptional student leaders who have connected with their community and increased awareness of the FIRST program and its mission. These students are not only advocates for the FIRST program, but are also sought out to become students of some of the most prestigious colleges. FIN wants to see over 34 Indiana FRC students nominated for this award in the 2021 season.
In order to provide support to our mentors – who might be new to submitting or those who are having a hard time getting started during this time – FIN is holding space to host an open workshop on February 7th from 2-3pm ET. This is a great opportunity to sit and listen to peers talk about the award, ask questions about grammar, or start putting pen to paper.
RSVP ahead of time via the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEqc-murD0uHdUbTEbgW2-yilCdQ4_PD4cs
