Dean’s List on Your Professional Resume

Since 2018, Michael "Mike" Kunka has owned and managed MAK Lawn Service in Waco, Texas. Michael Kunka is a student at Western Colorado University, where he has already made it to the Dean’s List.

The Dean’s List is mostly used in North American colleges and universities to recognize students who demonstrated academic excellence. Eligibility to get on the Dean’s List varies from school to school. Typically, students would have to complete a certain number of credits and earn a high GPA (3.6/4.0 or 4.5/5.0) to be eligible for consideration. However, these standards are rather flexible, as the Dean’s list is usually based on how competitive the student body is every semester.

On a resume, the Dean’s List should be added next to the GPA. However, most professionals think it is redundant to include your Dean’s List since your GPA is already there. Nonetheless, it is expedient to add it to your resume if you achieved it in all your semesters.It is advantageous towards seeking employment.

 

AI Technology to Help Lifeguards

Michael "Mike" Kunka attended Midway High School, where he was a member of the National Honor Society and the Student Council. In 2018, Michael Kunka worked as a lifeguard at the only country club in Waco, Texas.

To make the job of a lifeguard easier and save more lives, the alumni of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel have developed an AI-based lifeguard system. This technology, known as Sightbit, enables lifeguards to monitor thousands of swimmers simultaneously. It also helps to identify possible hazardous situations.

As of 2020, The Israel Nature and Parks Authority utilized Sightbit along with a coastline distance of five miles in Palmachim National Park. Developers say that the use of Sightbit along this coastline is the creation of the first smart beach. Sightbit works via standard cameras covering a specific area and transmitting real-time data through monitors in the lifeguard tower. When swimmers may be in danger, the system sounds alarms, and the cameras zoom in for a better view, allowing the lifeguards to stop relying on the manual use of binoculars.
