Conference

Welcome to YMUN! In January, Yale’s campus is usually catching the last few snow flurries of winter. The student body has just finished its shopping period for classes, so they’re buckling down and getting ready for the rest of the semester. The only people that haven’t been hibernating are those involved with YMUN! The Secretariat have spent all of winter break making sure that materials necessary for the conference are either ordered or on their way, reading and reviewing incoming position papers, and working withstaffers to make sure that they are fully prepared for the conference. That’s not to say that delegates have been slacking either! For one thing, those position papers we’re reading have to come from somewhere.  in this case, it’s the almost 1300 delegates who will spill onto Yale’s campus come January 19th. The information here provides you with a tentative schedule of events; as the months go on, we will be updating the schedule on our website if any changes should occur. Delegations will also receive a finalized copy of the schedule shortly before and during the conference. Remember that YMUN is a conference dedicated not only to Model UN, but also to promoting the ideas associated with building global communities, crossing cultural divides, and collaboratively con- structing possible futures, all from your committee rooms during a weekend away from home!
