    <div class="html-content"><span>UMBC has been invited to send one delegate to the </span><span><span>73rd</span><span><sup></sup></span><span> Annual Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA), hosted by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York.  SCUSA 73 begins on the evening of Wednesday, November<sup> </sup></span><span><sup></sup></span><span>2 and ends noon on Saturday, November 5</span><span><sup></sup></span><span>.</span></span><div><br></div><div><h4><span><span> </span></span><span><span>IF YOU ARE SELECTED, YOUR COSTS FOR ATTENDING THIS CONFERENCE WILL BE FULLY COVERED.</span></span></h4><div><span><span><br></span></span></div><div><h4><span><span>TO APPLY: You must send a one- to two-paragraph message to Dr. Grodsky (<a href="mailto:bgrodsky@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">bgrodsky@umbc.edu</a>) explaining WHY you would be a good representative and your current YEAR/GPA. This must be received <strong>by 5pm on September 23</strong>.</span></span></h4><span><span><br>From the organizers:</span></span><span><span><br></span></span><span><a rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><br></a>We are excited to announce a return to "normal" SCUSA! The largest and oldest conference of its type, SCUSA is an important means through which the United States Military Academy promotes civil-military engagement among future leaders. After a break in 2020 and a reduced SCUSA 72 last year due to the ongoing COVID-19 public health crisis, SCUSA 73 will continue the tradition of developing future professional partnerships while discussing contemporary U.S. foreign policy challenges. The event will maintain our rich history as one of America's premier student conferences, including 60 cadet delegates and 200 undergraduate and graduate students from over 100 U.S. institutions of higher learning as well as international partners, and spanning numerous academic disciplines. </span><span>Conference highlights include an opening senior panel discussion on the evening of November 2<sup>nd</sup>, a keynote address and banquet on November 3<sup>rd</sup>, four roundtable sessions, and a closing session on November 5<sup>th</sup> at which delegates will present recommendations for U.S. foreign policy developed during their roundtable sessions. Our keynote speaker this year is Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.</span><p> </p><p><span>SCUSA 73's theme is "American Foreign Policy in an Era of Polarized Politics and Revisionist Powers." America faces a mix of emerging and renewed obstacles to crafting effective and legitimate foreign policy. The evolving geopolitical environment increasingly challenges U.S. power and principles abroad. Domestically, American policymakers operate in a politically-charged and culturally-divided landscape, inhibiting compromise and effective policymaking while sometimes calling into question long-standing external commitments. In advancing its interests and values abroad, the United States encounters foreign powers seeking to revise or overturn existing international relationships, transnational institutions and norms, and even state boundaries. As familiar adversaries seek to alter regional balances in Europe and the Middle East, and as the challenge of China gathers momentum, America must act effectively and with lasting purpose to maintain its global leadership.  Policymakers will continue to grapple with a challenging question: How should the United States safeguard its values and interests in an era of domestic political polarization and revisionist powers? At the 73rd Annual Class of 1971 Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA 73) delegates will evaluate a range of contemporary obstacles and opportunities to craft proposals for an effective and authoritative U.S. foreign policy.  SCUSA 73 delegates will collaborate to develop policy proposals for the U.S. government that address the constraints of the domestic political arena and the challenges of a dynamic, uncertain strategic environment.</span></p></div></div></div>

<Title>Model UN Fall Team Application Live Now; Due 9/16</Title>
<Tagline>Interest Meeting Wednesday September 14th  12pm PUP 206</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>Have you heard of Model UN? We attend at least one conference a semester where we simulate the activities of the organs and agencies of the UN! In essence, we wear suits and negotiate with thousands of other students from around the nation (and the world) in order to "resolve" global issues while inhabiting the perspective of our assigned country! It's a ton of fun,<strong> can be taken as a "class" for an upper level POLI credit, and looks great on a resume!</strong> While this attracts a lot of interest from Poli Sci majors, we've had LOTS of non-related majors on our teams in the past, so please encourage your non-Poli Sci friends to join the club/team as well. <strong>We love newcomers!!</strong></div><div><br></div><div> <strong>If you'd like to learn more, our next (and final) interest meeting is this Wednesday (9/14) at 12pm in PUP206. WE WILL HAVE LOTS OF DONUTS!!!!</strong></div><div><br></div><div>UMBC's Model UN Club and Team is ready for a great semester! We've seen lots of interest in our fall team, which will be attending NMUN DC from November 4th-6th. We wanted to forward the team application to anyone else who may not have heard of Model UN yet. The application can be found <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdzPQvz_uFHS9oK02jR8Fkuv5xmcKZTr8-Y2Z4FYNO_bXJ9Mg/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>here</strong></a>. This application  is <strong>due by Friday 9/16 at 11:59pm.</strong></div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div>From there, we will inform our new team members of their status by the following Monday (9/19). Weekly team meetings (which will start the week that our team is announced!) will be scheduled based on the availability you submit on the application. We hope to see your name on the form! </div><div><br></div><div>Any questions can be directed  (<a href="mailto:esharp1@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">esharp1@umbc.edu</a>) or our President, Naige (<a href="mailto:naigec1@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">naigec1@umbc.edu</a>). </div></div>
