Dear Advisors and Delegates:
In the coming months, the AMUN staff, including the Secretariat, the Chairs, and the Staff, will be working to organize what will hopefully become the most stimulating and exhilarating Academy Model United Nations Conference yet. We invite you to join with us in exploring the excitement of international relations through Model United Nations.
Academy Model United Nations prides itself on producing conferences that far exceed the caliber of the average high school conference. As one of the most experienced and decorated Model UN programs in the country, AMUN has the experience to introduce elements only found at some of the most prestigious college conferences. This experience is also passed down through our Secretariat, Chairs, and Staff, all of whom are active Model UN participants.
With the increase of international communication and globalization, it is important for high school students to be aware of contemporary world events. Model UN creates an environment in which delegates learn through participation, gaining experience in international relations, decision-making, and oratory.
The conference will be held on February 7th through February 9th (Thursday-Saturday). The Conference will have a total of 12 committees, with a five-party Joint Crisis Cabinet simulation, in which delegates will represent the cabinets of North Korea, Syria, Israel, the U.S., and Iran. These five cabinets will interact through press releases, communiqués, policy decisions, and teleconferences to resolve their shared crisis. An exciting, new Special Joint Crisis Committee composed of two Chinese parties has also been added to the conference.
We hope that you will be able to join us for AMUN IX. All relevant information should be available on this website, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Secretariat. We are looking forward to an exciting and interesting conference in February!
The AMUN Secretariat
