From the Desk of the Secretary-General
Esteemed Delegates, Advisors, and Friends,
It is my honor and pleasure to officially announce the nineteenth session of Michigan State University Model United Nations (MSUMUN) as well as the eighth session of Red Cedar Model United Nations (RCMUN).
This past year, MSUMUN XVIII and RCMUN VII presented a variety of innovative and educational committees. In our General Assemblies, delegates worked together representing sovereign states to resolve challenging issues such as environmental sustainability, cryptocurrency regulations, waterborne diseases, childcare policy, and full-nuclearization in the Cold War. Delegates stepped into a plethora of unique roles in our Specialized Committees to discuss issues such as the Paris Agreement, continental defense initiatives, national self-determination, post-war refugee crises, housing disparities, and performance enhancing drugs. In our Crisis Committees, delegates embodied a future Saudi government, the first term of Argentine President Juan Perón, Yugoslavia’s leaders after breaking from the Soviets, the Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan, the Russian Interim Government, and both sides of the Franco–Algerian War. With the support of over 100 MSU volunteer staff members, we hosted nearly 600 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 XIX will be held March 15–17, 2019 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. For questions regarding the conference as a whole, and your school’s potential participation, please contact Undersecretary-General of External Affairs Monica Pham at externalaffairs@msumun.org.
I am looking forward to the eighth session of our middle school conference, RCMUN VIII. 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 eighth session. Our exceptional Secretary-General of RCMUN, Dana McDorman-Kolata, 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, Dana can be reached at rcmun@msumun.org.
As we continue to prepare for MSUMUN XIX and RCMUN VIII, 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 Internal Affairs, Madison Van Natter at internalaffairs@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!
