The Treehouse Dean's List is back!

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to share that the Treehouse Dean's List feature is back. :)

For those of you who haven't seen the Dean's List before, it's our way of highlighting some of the extraordinary students in our community and sharing with the world people who are passionate about learning, bettering themselves and making a difference.

This edition of the Deanโ€™s List features Martha Chumo, a 19 year old Treehouse scholar living in Nairobi, Kenya. Martha has been a web developer (primarily Rails/Sinatra) for a few months, and has recently acquired the title of โ€˜founder and CEOโ€™ for a startup sheโ€™s in the process of launching. A big thank you to Njeri Chelimo for sharing her experience and story with the community!

You can read Martha's Interview over on the blog, and keep an eye out at the beginning of each month for another Dean's List student. :)

Very nice idea, gives students another incentive to work hard, progress and then take the next step - either applying our new skills and knowledge into tangible projects or getting out there and starting a career.

Thumbs up from me and well done to Martha!
