Hey Delegates!!
So now that we are in the six-week range of the conference, (exciting, I know!), many of you should begin to prepare your research for our time together.

While you're doing so, your SOCHUM team (Santiago, Elias, and myself), will be constantly updating this blog in order to give you a better understanding of our topics and the direction in which you should orient your research.

Another welcome from your Assistant Director!

Conference:

NHSMUN 2012

Hello!
I am Santiago Cerón Uribe, coming all the way from Bogotá ROCK CITY in Colombia, South America. I´m currently studying at the Universidad de los Andes here in my hometown, where I am majoring in both Computer Sciences and Mathematics. I´ve been in MUN since I was in the 9th grade in my school and I kinda regret not having joined earlier. Anyways, that would make it four years in MUN. However, this is my first NHSMUN and in fact, my first MUN conference out of my country, so you can imagine how excited I am about NHSMUN!
Love,
Santiago.
