Hello all!

Welcome! Like my fellow WTO dais staff Britt, I will share a little bit of info about myself.

I am currently in my second year of studies at the U of A and plan on completing a bachelor of commerce. I've really enjoyed my university experience so far and have really taken an interest in economics, something I never would have thought I'd like when I was in high school. I have lived in Edmonton my entire life and cannot wait until I finish my degree so I can move away and hopefully work abroad! My interests? Architecture (which is really more of an obsession), running, and reading.

So i'm getting pretty excited about the conference in February, and I hope everyone else is too and that you are doing research for the debate. I participated in the conference when I was in high school so I can tell you all with confidence that it is alot more fun when you are actually prepared for it. And please, if you have any questions at all, e-mail me! I check my e-mail multiple times a day so I will be prompt in replying. I'd be happy to tell you about resources, what to expect in the debate room, or anything about the university if you are thinking of applying. ( kristimeier10@yahoo.ca )

I plan on trying to post some links and articles that will not only be useful, but also interesting, to get you excited about the material. Good luck with your studies and I will see you in February!
