Dear Advisor,
Hello! My name is Jillian Riney. I am a junior at Michigan State University, triple majoring in International Relations and Comparative Cultures and Politics and Arabic with a minor in Spanish. 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.
MSUMUN XX will be held at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center on the weekend of March 13-15, 2020 (Friday- Sunday). We want your delegates to have the best experience while they are here, and we believe that our outreach program is a great way to achieve that goal. For our outreach program, we will be sending 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 travel to you!
This year, we will be providing two large day-long outreach events; one at Grand Rapids’ Secchia Center and one at MSU’s Detroit Center for schools in those areas. Additionally, we will provide classroom visit outreach lessons to Lansing-area schools as requested. The sessions will range from introducing basic rules of Parliamentary Procedure to facilitating simulations and practicing the same skills that the students will need to be successful at the conference. This is also a great way meet the incredible staff members that we have for MSUMUN XX.
Our outreach team will also be offering lesson plans for Red Cedar Model United Nations IX. RCMUN is a great opportunity for the middle schools to begin their Model UN career and will be held in February 23rd. If you have any further questions about the conference email the Secretary-General of RCMUN IX, Emily Hanson, 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 session if you are a Lansing area school; if you are a school in the Detroit or Grand Rapids area we will be sending out registration forms for those events soon. We will be offering sessions for RCMUN until the second week of February. For MSUMUN, outreach will be offered until the second week of February. 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. Have a great summer and we look forward to working with your teams!
Sincerely,
Jillian Riney
