Weekly Video Message from the Chair

Hello everyone, here is the link to this week's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO4JKcZDegc
This week I reiterate my words of wisdom about the Math Competency Exam (see also my video message from last September here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiUXuGtJkqU), I talk about preparing for practicum, and offer my thoughts of this academic year as it comes to a close.
I'll be out of the office starting just after the exam on Thursday, but I'll be back with a video on Sunday, March 29th. In the meantime, have a good couple of weeks, and take care of yourselves.
