<Title>URGENT Model UN Spring 2023 Applications are Due 2/5</Title>

    <div class="html-content"><div><h4><span>A message from Model UN Vice President Eli Sharp: </span></h4><span></span></div><span><div><span><br></span></div>Hey all!</span><div><br></div><div>It's been a while! If you are on this email list, it is because you have expressed interest in Model UN in past semesters. I have some very time dependent updates on Model UN this semester (<strong>the <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMFuKrjepKJsrVIEVlN02JUi_Z1ZhC-Od7Jiw4VD5aQhq-2w/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">application </a>deadline is this upcoming Sunday at 11:59pm</strong>), so I won't waste too many words saying I hope you had a good break and are successfully entering your spring semester here at UMBC! As a reminder, we love any and all skill levels in Model UN, and we are by no means an exclusively "Political Science" club, so please do not feel intimidated by the prospects of being on the team just because you are faithful to another major. </div><div><br></div><div>This semester, we hope to take a select delegation of you to a very special conference. Hosted by NMUN, this international conference will take place in New York City from April 10th-14th. During the conference, universities from around the world send thousands of young delegates to New York for the week in hopes that they successfully arrive at mock resolutions to the world's most pressing issues, as mediated by a simulation of various bodies of the United Nations. Spread over 5 days, these committee sessions will be complemented by lots of free time in NYC to (safely) roam, eat great food, and make new friends. <strong>The week will end with the conference renting out a club in Manhattan for the "delegate dance".</strong> Yes, it's fun, that's why I put it in bold.</div><div><br></div><div>In order to assess who we would like to bring to this conference to represent UMBC Model UN, we have created an <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMFuKrjepKJsrVIEVlN02JUi_Z1ZhC-Od7Jiw4VD5aQhq-2w/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">application </a>for the team. <em>Everyone </em>(including vets and e-board members)<em> </em>who wishes to be considered for the team must fill this application out. If you have applied in the past, this application will look very similar. <strong>This application is due SOON! This upcoming Sunday, February 5th, at 11:59pm, we will close the application acceptance window. </strong>We hope to have the team picked and notified of their status by 10pm on Monday, February 6th (the following day). If you do not receive an email by that time, you unfortunately did not make the team. </div><div><br></div><div>Full disclosure: these next couple weeks will be fast moving, with a few deadlines (including payment, which we estimate will be around $200, but we'll get to that soon) and meetings coming up fairly quickly. We are super excited to get started on what we're sure will be a great semester of MUN!</div></div>

They network with other young activists and aspiring policy wonks, learning skills that prepare them for careers in public service.</p><p>In addition to the legislative simulation, MSL brings political and civic leaders from all parts of Maryland to our events to speak with students and answer their questions. Governors, Lieutenant Governors, Attorneys General, Comptrollers, leaders of the House and Senate, members of Congress, Mayors, Councilmembers, and countless other local, state, and federal officials have participated in MSL events over the years.</p><p>MSL alumni have gone on to serve in the Maryland General Assembly, the Governor's Office, work in Congress and the Executive Branch, across federal agencies, and lead successful careers in law, politics, journalism, civil service, academia, and much more.</p></div> </div></div></div> <div> <div><div><h1><br><br></h1></div></div> </div> </div></div></div></div>
