Boston University Academy Model UN Conference MMXV
Dear Delegates and Advisors:
Welcome to the official site of BUAMUN 2015! We are pleased to invite you to the 2015 conference, which will be held over the weekend of January 31st through February 1st! After two successful conferences, BUAMUN 2015 is focused on enhancing the experience of middle school delegates and helping them build their Model UN skills. The conference is staffed by members of BU Academy's nationally ranked Model UN team, and will offer General Assemblies (GAs), Specialized Committees, and Crisis Committees, including a Joint Crisis simulation. Throughout the weekend, delegates will debate, negotiate, and compromise in order to represent their positions as accurately as possible. Along the way, they will sharpen their skills and gain awareness of what it means to be a global citizen.
This year, we are excited to be able to host a greater number of delegates than ever before in our new location, Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences (685 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215), just down the street from our old location at the Academy building. Any group of middle-school aged students (ages 11-14) with an interest in world affairs, negotiation, and compromise is welcome to register -- whether new to BUAMUN or returning, large or small, local or international.
At this time, committee assignments have been sent out to all delegations, and all background guides are available on the "Background Guides" page under the "Conference Preparation" tab. Explore our website to find out more about our selection of committees, from General Assemblies of the UN and Specialized Committees like INTERPOL to in-depth modern-day and historical crisis simulations, and to meet our conference staff.
Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you in January!
Regards,
