Hey! DO YOU LIKE DONUTS?! Are you looking for an opportunity to explore your interest in international affairs? Do you want to hone your skills in public debate, negotiations, and research & writing? Do you like wearing suits? How about wearing suits while in DC? Join Model UN in PUP 206 this Thursday and Friday at 3pm! We'll be sending a team to NMUN DC this upcoming November 4th-6th. That's 3 days in a hotel in DC!

Model United Nations (MUN) is an intellectual sport which brings together thousands of students in an attempt to simulate the activities of actual UN organs/agencies while at conferences. At conference, you will meet thousands of other students from across the nation and the world (some of these people become lifelong friends), and become exceptionally skilled at public speaking, internationally oriented research, diplomacy, and problem solving.

If any of this sounds interesting, come to our interest meetings on:

Thursday (9/8): 3-3:45pm in PUP206 (DONUTS!!!)

Friday (9/9): 3-3:45pm in PUP206 (MORE DONUTS)

or Wednesday (9/14): 12-12:45pm in PUP206 (...still donuts)

Also, come see us at iFest on Erickson Field this Friday (9/9) from 12-2pm under the Intellectual Sports banner! Give us your email so we can keep you in the loop!

Our team applications will be released shortly after iFest on Friday (9/9), and will be due the following Friday night (9/16) at 11:59pm. General Body Meetings will be every two Wednesdays from 12-1 (location TBD), and DC Team Meetings will be weekly on a day/time that is coordinated in consideration of each team member's time constraints.

Any questions or interests can be directed to our President, Naige Correal-Winters (naigec1@umbc.edu), or Vice President, Elijah Sharp (esharp1@umbc.edu). SEE YOU SOON!!
