As one of the premier conferences in the world, YMUN attracts over 1,300 delegates from 60 schools around the world, with 1 in 6 delegates coming from outside the United States. The conference itself is run by a diverse staff of Yale undergraduates possessing an array of interests—from microfinance and election monitoring to immunology and urbanization.
The thirty-eighth annual session of the Yale Model United Nations Conference will take place from Thursday, January 19th to Sunday, January 22rd, 2012 in New Haven, Connecticut. As our undergraduate umbrella organization, the Yale International Relations Association (YIRA) expands our model UN conferences abroad to regions such as East Asia and Europe, we are looking forward to solidifying the quality of our oldest and largest conference, set against the backdrop of our very own Yale University campus.
Our sponsors share our mission of furthering the global awareness of young people by expanding abilities of debate and conflict resolution. We seek to nurture a community in which people tackle relevant world issues with both knowledge and commitment. Your sponsorship would be greatly appreciated.
As a sponsor, you would:
- Donate to a registered nonprofit organization (YIRA)
- Present your organization's vision to high school youth and teachers from all over the world
- Bring your goals and career options to our undergraduate staffers and members of YIRA, which include hundreds of students at Yale University
- Be an affiliate of the Yale International Relations Association and its growing alumni network of Yale graduates
YMUN 39 will be held Jan 24, 2013 - Jan 27, 2013. Block off the dates in your calendar and stay tuned for details about next year's regsitration process!
Congratulations, delegates, staffers, and advisors for an outstanding year at YMUN! Thank you all for coming and sharing your enthusiasm with us. This conference would not have been the same without any one of you. We look forward to seeing you again next year at YMUN XXXIX!
