UCLA Blog

Everyone did an outstanding job this weekend. I know you tried your best and I want you to know that all of you did great!

For our UCLA blog, answer the following questions by Wednesday, 11/12, before class.

(Please remember to be positive and do not make any disparaging or negative comments about any delegates.)

1. What went well for you at UCLA?

2. What did your partner do well (be positive!). If you did not have a partner, what were the benefits to not having a partner and/or what were the challenges you faced in your committee as a single delegate?

3. Who did the best in your committee and what did they do to make them stand out?

4. What did you learn this weekend? How can you translate your experience at UCLA to make you a better delegate?

5. Did anything surprise you at this conference? If not...how was UCLA different from other conferences you have been to?

Congratulations Sophomores!

Everyone did a fantastic job at UCLA! I was impressed with the participation in all committees and proud of what you accomplished!

I want to especially congratulate our Sophomore Award Winners!
