Is BUAMUN an "invitational" conference?
No, BUAMUN is not an invitational conference. If your school would like to come, it is more than welcome to!
How many days is BUAMUN?
BUAMUN is a two-day conference starting Saturday morning and ending on Sunday afternoon. Since the conference is held over multiple days, delegates will be able to reach resolutions on issues and conflicts without any time constraints.
What sort of adult supervision will BUAMUN provide?
BUAMUN staff will not provide direct adult supervision. Each delegation will be required to attend with its advisor, who will be the responsible adult for the delegation. We will ask all attending students to submit a signed release form, complete with emergency information--advisors should also have a copy of this information.
Students will be in committee rooms with BUAMUN staff (high school students of BU Academy), and advisors may observe committee proceedings at any time. Conference admin staff will make sure that no delegates leave the premises without an advisor present.
Due to the pandemic, this year's conference will be online. We will send out information soon on how to ensure privacy and security during the conference.
What kind of Model UN experience do BUAMUN staff have?
All BUAMUN staff are members of the Boston University Academy Model UN delegation. The club hosts regular simulations for its members, and members travel to at least two collegiate Model UN conferences yearly. All conference staff have received extensive training in hosting a Model UN conference, and many have organized or staffed (or have even been delegates!) similar events in the past, including BUAMUN in 2020 - 2023.
