Regarding MSUMUN XX Cancellation:
Esteemed Delegates, Advisors, and Friends,
First, I would like to genuinely thank you for your patience as we work through this rapidly evolving situation. With that being said, we have come to the difficult decision, based on discussions with University officials, to cancel MSUMUN XX this weekend. I realize this comes with a lot of logistics and questions, and please know we are working on getting you as much information as possible. MSUMUN XX will run next year, hopefully as planned barring any circumstances such as this, and we hope to be able to welcome you all to East Lansing in the Spring of 2021. Thank you for all of the work you and your students have put into this conference; we recognize and appreciate your dedication to this conference, and this has been a very hard decision for us to make.
Please stand by for more specific information about procedures related to invoices/financial concerns. We just wanted to get you this information as soon as possible to allow hotel cancellations. Also, please note that due to this situation, I may be slower to respond to emails. We have many internal decisions to make as a club on campus, as well as further communications with the University.
We truly appreciate your continued understanding and patience.
Sincerely,
Monica Pham
Secretary-General

From the Desk of the Secretary-General
Esteemed Delegates, Advisors, and Friends,
It is my honor and pleasure to officially announce the twentieth session of Michigan State University Model United Nations (MSUMUN) as well as the ninth session of Red Cedar Model United Nations (RCMUN).
This past year, MSUMUN XIX and RCMUN VIII presented a variety of innovative and educational committees. In our General Assemblies, Delegates worked collaboratively to resolve challenging issues, such as settling territorial disputes, decreasing ocean wastes, ensuring proper nutritious diets worldwide, giving freedom to superhumans, and tackling the epidemic of vaping and tobacco use. In our Specialized Committees, Delegates immersed themselves into ideas such as the privacy issues in the nation’s largest companies, the goal of supporting the Palestinian refugees, the empowerment of rural women, the incorporation of more voices and representation in democratic institutions, the implementation and plan to assist deaf and disabled children learn, and the modernization of the Soviet economy in the modern era. In our Crisis Committees, Delegates created a future Iranian government, the first term of Bolivian President Victor Paz Estenssoro, the Haitian Revolution, the Hong Kong Executive Council, the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producer, and both sides of the British East India Company and the Sikh Empire. With the support of over 100 MSU volunteer staff members, we hosted nearly 700 high school students and over 200 middle school students as they engaged in two of the nation’s premier Model UN conferences held on one of the nation’s most beautiful college campus.
At this time, I am excited to announce that MSUMUN XX will be held March 13–15, 2020 at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center on Michigan State’s campus. With this being our twentieth year anniversary, 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 has offered previously. For questions regarding the conference as a whole, and your school’s potential participation, please contact Undersecretary-General of External Affairs, Allie Pail, at externalaffairs@msumun.org.
I am looking forward to the ninth session of our middle school conference, RCMUN IX. 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 ninth session. Our exceptional Secretary-General of RCMUN, Emily Hanson, 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, Emily can be reached at rcmun@msumun.org.
As we continue to prepare for MSUMUN XX and RCMUN IX, we plan on continuing to work with our schools, Advisors, and Delegates outside of the conference through our Outreach Program. In past years, MSUMUN and RCMUN staff members travelled 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 Operations, Jillian Riney, at operations@msumun.org.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns 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!
