A few notes before we win in New York.

• Western Business Attire (Gentlemen – Suit and Tie. Ladies – Suit, Skirt or Dress, Blouse). If you need anything dry cleaned, please do so today.
  • Also, bring non-business attire for social activities and nice shoes (not sneakers) for club night.
  • The hostel is a 12-15 minute walk from Columbia’s Campus, so plan for lots of walking.
• Plenty of Pens and Paper
• Flip flops for the showers
• Snacks/food
• Socks and Underwear (Cox’s request)
• Computer is optional, but a good idea to have.
• Deodorant, Toothbrush, Shampoo, Soap, Razor, additional person hygiene needs.
• Cash (for subway, meals, taxi fare, booze, etc). I recommend bringing between $30-$75. There are plenty of ATMs and most places accept credit (though not lion cash… Sorry!)
• Printout of your delegate guide
  • Also, it is a good idea to come prepared with additional information/research about your position. Please see http://www.cmunny.org/page/node/3 to access your committee’s delegate guide.
  • Another recommendation is to prepare a binder with all the information you’ll need for committee. This will allow you to access research quickly, have fast access to the rules of procedure, as well as have any additional information for committee within reach at all times. BestDelegate.com has a great post on the 15 things every delegate should have in their binder. See here: http://bit.ly/brq6LP
    • You may find some other useful information from BestDelegate.com — especially in the Delegate Strategy Section (http://bestdelegate.com/category/delegate/)
• BRING YOUR ID (Everybody! You’ll likely need it for club night and social activities)
• Cell phone and Laptop Charger

• We will be taking the MEGABUS to New York City. It departs State College at 10:00am from the North Atherton Street Walmart.
