Dear Advisor,
Hello! My name is Laith Mihyar. I am a junior at Michigan State University, triple majoring in International Relations, Comparative Cultures & Politics, and Arabic with a minor in Muslim Studies. Along with all of that, I am serving you as the Undersecretary-General of Operations for the Twentieth Session of Michigan State University Model United Nations! I am looking forward to working with you and your delegates this year as the head of the outreach team for MSUMUN! It is my hope and our goal here at MSUMUN to support and better prepare your delegation in the months leading up to our conference.
While the current status of how MSUMUN XX will be held is not finalized, we do know that it will run either in person, online, or a hybrid of both. We want your delegates to have the best experience while attending MSUMUN XX, and we believe that our outreach program is a great way to achieve that goal. For our outreach program, we will be utilizing our experienced teams that are trained to provide tailored lesson plans that fit the needs of your students; that includes programs as basic or as advanced as needed. This could be in the form of crisis or general committees that we have prepared. Delegates will not have to do all of their research by themselves and we will make accommodations as needed!
Due to the unique nature of this year, we have decided to hold our outreach programs online. Our first priority is to protect the health and safety of our delegates and staffers and due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is unrealistic to believe we can truly ensure absolute protection of health while holding in-person outreach events. Even though our outreach will be held online, we still have an exciting and educational outreach program planned for you and your students!
Our outreach team will also be offering lesson plans for Red Cedar Model United Nations X. RCMUN is a great opportunity for the middle schools to begin their Model UN career. If you have any further questions about the conference email the Secretary-General of RCMUN X, Emily Douponce, at: rcmun@msumun.org.
We will begin accepting requests for outreach on October 1st. If you wish to request an outreach session, for either RCMUN or MSUMUN, please email me at: operations@msumun.org. In your request, please let us know how we can best help your team and the desired dates for the online session. We will be offering sessions for RCMUN until the second week of February. For MSUMUN, outreach will be offered until February 28th. Also, if you have any further questions feel free to email me anytime at the address previously mentioned.
The outreach team that will interact with your students will not only teach your delegation valuable skills for the upcoming conference, but we hope to instill in them a passion for Model UN, and a desire to challenge themselves and the world around them. As an organization, we pride ourselves on creating an environment where delegates can develop and strengthen their public speaking, problem solving, and leadership skills. We do this not only so that they will be successful delegates, but in hopes that they will continue to use these skills for the rest of their lives. We look forward to working with your teams!
Sincerely,
Laith Mihyar
