Thank goodness small town papers exist to pat us on the back for a job well done. The Putnam County News and Recorder has recognized one of its proud residents, Terence Zaleski CC’07 for making the Dean’s list.
That one’s going on the fridge!

@for barnard check ebear
@confused how do you know if you’re on the dean’s list? i guess if i don’t know, then i’m not on it? my gpa was good enough though, i thought.
@um haven’t you ever checked your grades on SSOL? go there now; if it doesn’t say “dean’s list” below your grades for the semester, you didn’t make it.
@okay.. what about for barnard?
@Tegan Sounds to me like another spectacular way for Columbia to market itself. Kudos, Lions. Kudos.
@I think when we first got in Columbia sent a card for your asking what your local newspaper was, if you filled it out they automatically report if you got on Dean’s List, it appears in my local rag when I make it
@SS Ah, my local paper prints notifications of college students who make dean’s lists if you send them a notification, but I’ve had uhm better things to do since coming here than remember to notify them.
However, I did get full-page articles about myself and my exciting life and fascinating achievements in 2 local papers (with 1 front-page headline) for being valedictorian of my *mediocre* public hs.
@me too one paper let me submit an essay about myself….it began *blank blank* likes Rush and hopes one way to molest little kids.
@well, now that’s just the tiniest nit arrogant
@NICE T-dog’s not arrogant in any way, the guy is a class act. Congrats !
@Ah This post is so cute.
@psssh i didn’t even make dean’s list this year!
@oh dear you must either go to seas or have personal issues with your professors.
@Nice Good job Terence. Upper Putnam county is a place where stuff like that is news. Although, living in the next county up, I realize that I have never been mentioned in my local paper for a similar achievement. And so sprouts the seeds of jealousy.
