Specialized Committees

Blending environmentalism and history, the Yellowstone Committee will explore the political, social, and environmental context surrounding the formation of America's first National Park.  Jumping into the future, delegates in the 2073 Climate Crisis committee will ponder how to mitigate the growing challenges that Climate Change, and how they will manifest in the coming years.

Crisis Committees​

Building on the success and engagement produced by our crisis committees, MSUMUN XX’s staff are excited to present the most innovative and challenging crisis committees in our history. In these selections, we hope to ensure that every delegate, regardless of interest, will have an area which fascinates them and empower their ability to create solutions for infinitely complex problems. For those more business inclined, we have two engaging committee options. For those who want a historical twist, we suggest exploring the 1961 South Korean crisis committee that provides a unique blend of corporate and public interests. For those looking for a more policy based approach, the 2036 Social Security Crisis will have delegates juggle the interests of politicians, corporate lobbyists, and social advocacy groups in the context of social security. For delegates interested in American History we ask, remember the Alamo? This committee will ponder what would happen if the historic Battle of the Alamo ended in a stalemate.  MSUMUN XX will be also offering its first fantasy based crisis committee as delegates debate the pressing ecological, economic, and ethical concerns of animal rights within the context of the Pokemon universe. Finally, for our ambitious delegates, we will offer our first JCC in two years! The Twin Pillars of Rome Committee will pit two empires against one another in an epic battle for political, economic and social glory.
