I’ve read enough on the site as well as other social networking sites and know enough people who are the experts on it, that I wanted to [...]
I’m about to publish the 2nd Annual Dean’s List. Some people ask what exactly is it and what’s the importance. I guess I never really did fully explain the full meaning behind it. Here is my attempt;
