Letter from the Secretary-General

On behalf of the University of Maryland Model United Nations Organization, it is my pleasure to invite you to the seventh iteration of the University of Maryland Model United Nations Conference, UMUNC VII. As a Chair for UMUNC V and Chief of Staff for UMUNC VI, I am honored to be your Secretary General.

It is a firm belief within our organization that participation in Model United Nations should never be limited by financial status. We are proud to be one of the most affordable collegiate conferences in the US, with scholarships for underfunded programs. This year, we are excited to roll-out hotel discounts, making UMUNC more accessible than ever before.

UMUNC prides itself on offering committees for a variety of experience levels. That is why we are hosing a new crisis workshop, where delegates will learn tips and tricks of Crisis Committees from our esteemed staff members.

Through a diverse array of committees, we aim to spark an interest for public speaking as well as international affairs. Whether you compete in our competitive General Assemblies, or creative Crisis Committees, UMUNC VII promises to provide an engaging and memorable experience.

I would be remiss not to thank this year’s Secretariat. They are responsible for the improvements to UMUNC, and are an absolute privilege to work with.

Here’s to the success and growth of you as a delegate, and here’s to UMUNC VII. We can’t wait for you to join us!

See you in April, Jasmine Sonpar Secretary-General | UMUNC VII | secgen@umdmun.org
