BMUN 72 UNCSW

 Hello Everyone! Welcome back to the BMUN blog. Conference is in less than a week, and I am bouncing off the walls with excitement! We have read and graded your position papers, and I am looking forward to seeing you debate all of your ideas. We did have some technical difficulties with Huxley, so if your grade was changing around Sunday and Monday that is why. I will say that all of the grades are now finalized, and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to join our office hours today and tomorrow from 4-5PM ( here is the wejoin ). You can also send us an email if you have any last minute questions or just ask us at conference. Thanks for keeping up with all of the emails, blog posts, work, and chaos. I can't wait to meet you in person on Friday (which is coincidentally national women's day!!) The prefix to your suffix, Roxie Baggott,  UNCSW 72 Head Chair

S.M.A.R.T. stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely, so after creating your solution, you can ask, "Is this ...
