Friday Feb. 20: Dean’s List and President’s List

So, starting Friday, the 20th, I have embarked on the journey that is the Dean’s List and President’s List.  It is certainly a lengthy process, yet, I actually don’t mind it!  It’s time consuming and a bit tedious (ok very tedious), but it doesn’t require much thought (which is sometimes a nice change of pace). 

What I must catalogue for the nearly 500 or so names is:

• Look up student name, year, major, county and town
• Look up the counties by zip code using the US Census website
• Write the press realeases for each county’s list of students who have earned Dean’s List/President’s List
• Look up county newspapers and contact them with the list of students in their area who have earned Dean’s List/President’s List

This process involves both Microsoft Excell and Microsoft Word.  This assignment is projected to last over 2 weeks.  I’ll give an update on my progress on Monday!
