More Time to Indicate RPE Choices

Due to late registrations, we see that not all of you have chosen RPEs yet. Also, we prefer that you find your own partner to our assigning a partner to you. Therefore, we have extended the deadline for indicating RPE choices until noon on Thursday 17 January.

Looking for a Role Playing Exercise Partner?: If you're looking for a Role Playing Exercise partner, consider placing your request for a partner on the General Discussion Forum at the ACE site.
