Position Paper Round One, Pre-Hibernation

Hello World!

Today, we are gearing up for MUN hibernation during winter break. We are heading towards the new year, which means we are getting closer and closer to the spring conference! Our delegates are doing a great job of turning in their position papers, all which we will finish reviewing this week before break!

The position papers have turned out very well, as it is easy to tell that our delegates are knowledgeable as well as very interested in the issues of their countries. Even though we were not selected for a "Big Five" country this year, each and every one of our countries are very important and influential to the conference, which is why the position papers are so important. All in all, so far so good for the position papers process.

We are moving on to room assignments, and will have to start pairing people up for housing at the conference. This process should have very few mishaps, and hopefully everything should go quite smoothly. We are excited and appreciative for being able to stay in the Broadway Inn again this year. Since the conference has moved from the University of Oregon campus to the Hilton Hotel, we are closer to the actual conference than we were before! This will make transferring delegates back and forth between the conference just that much easier.

We have the opportunity this year to make really cool t-shirts for our delegates. We have personalized them, each student being able to select a name of their choosing for the back. They will be full sleeves once again this year, very cozy looking. Thanks to CustomInc, the process of making t-shirts has been very easy. We have been working for the past couple of months on an affordable design and are all very excited about the outcome.

Everything seems to be going very well so far, and we are getting more and more excited for the spring conference as the new year approaches and the MUN preparation process gets underway. Now we are just hoping that our delegates will take some time during winter break to work on their second position papers! Then, we will be ready for position paper grading round two.

Happy Holidays,

The MUN Planning Team
