What is MSUMUN?
Michigan State University Model U.N. is the premier High School conference in the Midwest. Over 7,900 delegates from 140 schools have attended our conference over the past seventeen years. Students from across the country have come back again and again to Michigan State University’s Model United Nations Conference. The staff of MSUMUN prides itself as being both educational and exciting. General Assemblies are meant to instruct students about the functions of the United Nations and how a legislature works as a body. Specialized Committees are more targeted towards specialized topics of the Chairs choosing, from the past, present and future. The Crisis committees will take a look at more focused topics of either historical or current events. We are excited about all of our committees this year and our enthusiastic staff looks forward to hosting an excellent conference for you. Students will be able to explore a world-class university while visiting campus and get a taste of college life on Grand River Avenue. Location Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center 219 S. Harrison Road East Lansing, MI 48824 |

From the Desk of the Secretary-General
Esteemed Delegates, Advisors, and Friends,
It is my honor and pleasure to officially announce the eighteenth session of Michigan State University Model United Nations (MSUMUN) as well as the seventh session of Red Cedar Model United Nations (RCMUN).
This past year, MSUMUN XVII and RCMUN VI presented a variety of innovative and stimulating committees. In our General Assemblies, delegates worked together representing sovereign nations to resolve challenging issues such as economic inequality, mental health care for refugees of war, the Zika virus outbreak, the water wars, and the situation in Afghanistan. Delegates stepped into a plethora of unique roles in our Specialized Committees to discuss issues such as the issue of voter registration in Mississippi in 1964, human rights in the Pan-Kurdish Summit, combating corruption in Africa, governing Egypt in King Tutankhamen’s Court, preserving biodiversity in the Arctic, and working in the Commission to Restore Detroit. In our Crisis Committees, delegates worked together to survived in 2099 in the Martian Colonies, keep the embers of the democratic revolution burning in Yatsenyuk’s Interim Government, and rebuild New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina. With the support of over 130 MSU volunteer staff members, we hosted nearly 800 high school students and over 300 middle school students as they engaged in two of the nation’s premier Model UN conferences held on the nation’s most beautiful college campus.
At this time, I am excited to announce that MSUMUN XVIII will be held April 20-22, 2018 at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center on Michigan State’s campus. The members of MSUMUN and I look forward to showing delegates the best of what MSUMUN and Michigan State University has to offer. At MSUMUN, we strive to provide the dynamic and educationally enriching experience that MSUMUN as offered in the past.
I am looking forward to the seventh session of our middle school conference, RCMUN VII. The date for RCMUN will be announced soon. RCMUN has always fostered incredibly positive experiences for all of its delegates, advisors, and staff, and I am greatly pleased to see it enter its seventh session. Our exceptional Secretary-General of RCMUN, Chayse Hurley, is enthusiastic to see RCMUN grow and expand as a conference. I have the utmost confidence in her vision and leadership. If for any reason you may need to contact her, Chayse can be reached at rcmun@msumun.org.
As we continue to prepare for MSUMUN XVIII and RCMUN VII, we plan on continuing to work with our schools, advisors, and delegates outside of the conference through our Community Outreach Program. In past years, MSUMUN and RCMUN staff members will be traveling to school in order to help students engage in research, public speaking, writing, and debate skills. I expect our Outreach Program to continue to strengthen the relationships MSUMUN and RCMUN have worked hard to develop with schools, while providing valuable educational opportunities to our students. If you are interested in our Community Outreach Program, please do not hesitate to contact our Undersecretary-General of Internal Affairs, Dana McDorman-Kolata at internalaffairs@msumun.org.
If you have any questions, comments, or concert relating to either of our conferences, feel free to contact me personally at secgen@msumun.org. I, along with our fantastic staff and secretariat, look forward to working with you this year. As the Secretary-General, I am honored to be a part of this organization, and I hope to see you all at MSUMUN and RCMUN!
