Cannon Med is hosting a “science at UNC” seminar this Friday in room 631 at 11:20. We will be having two science majors who are both juniors (quantitative biology & biology) come and speak about their life as a science major at UNC. This is great for anyone looking to go into the sciences or just want to know more about student life at UNC.

Model UN: we will have a meeting on MONDAY, OCTOBER 22 during lunch in the Library Annex to discuss and prepare for our next trip to Wiliam and Mary the weekend of Nov. 9th. Be there!!!! Please remember that permission forms for WMHSMUN are due to Mrs. Shaefer by Monday—but if you want your best chance of securing a spot, you should turn your form in THIS WEEK!!!!  You are expected to bring your form to Mrs. Shaefer PERSONALLY before the meeting on Monday so that she can assign spots fairly on a first-come, first serve basis. Please email her with questions.

If you are a fan of Blue Goat, please see (or email) Dean Booker for an opportunity to spend time with the author, Court Creeden, during lunch on 10/30.
