ECOFIN

Hi delegates!

I’m so sad the conference is over! You guys were all really amazing and I had a lot of fun chairing for you this weekend! I just wanted to post one last time on the blogs to again thank you guys for your great attitudes and to post the awards for our committee in case your school had to leave before closing ceremonies.

Receiving Commendations were United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, DPRK, Colombia, South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, and Syria.

Receiving Outstandings were China, United States, Czech Republic, Haiti, and Belgium.

And receiving the Gavel was Cuba.

I was really impressed by all of your creativity, hard work, and dedication this weekend. Hope you all decide to come back to BMUN next year!

Hello delegates,

I hope you guys are all ready for BMUN 56 ECOFIN! =) We’ll be seeing you all in less than two days!! I just wanted to warn everyone to bring your umbrellas…we’re expecting some rain this weekend. Other than that, we have your position papers graded, your placards ready to go, and a few cool surprises waiting for you this weekend!

Hi delegates!

Hope you guys are getting excited for the conference! The energy at BMUN is crazy and we’re all really looking for to next weekend!! =) I wanted to share something I just discovered which I think is really cool and will hopefully be really helpful for you guys. For those of you who are regular iTunes users, you might have noticed the semi-newish iTunes University feature. If you haven’t noticed it, go into the iTunes store and look on the left side of the page where there is a little box with options like Music, Movies, Tv Shows…Click on the iTunes U option and it will open a new page with a list of universities which allow you to download their course lectures onto your ipod. It’s so cool! =P In any case, if you click on the MIT courses and then scroll down to the Public Lectures section, you will find a lecture series on Environment and Energy that I think is particularly useful for our discussions. Also, not that I ever like to seem pro Stanford or anything…but it appears likely that there might be something remotely interesting (possibly) if you follow the iTunes U path from Stanford-International Relations-International Economics. Those audio programs might not be terribly bad…=P

I really encourage you guys to explore the iTunes U feature and maybe post other relevant lectures you find in the comments section of this post. Good luck! Keep checking and posting on the blogs!
