Dear Esteemed Faculty Advisors and Delegates,
As Secretary-General I am
enthusiastic to invite you to the annual
Carolina’s College Model United Nations
Conference. The
conference is hosted by The University of North Carolina at Charlotte on our main
campus. This year
the conference is on October 24th and 25th
with special emphasis on the celebration of United Nations Day
on the 24th. The Carolina’s Conference is a
two day event that anticipates the expansion of students'
knowledge of the United Nations system and facilitates a
platform for discussion on international events in a manner that
fosters diplomacy and tolerance.
There is no prior Model UN experience necessary to participate
in the Carolina’s Conference.
If you do not have a Model UN club or class at your
school, we encourage you to assemble a group of students
interested in international affairs, current events, politics,
debate, or public speaking and start a team!
Model UN simulates procedures and practices of various
United Nations organs and can open the door to other model
programs and opportunities.
As a Model UN delegate students gain skills and
experiences that few other programs can offer in public
speaking, formal debate, conflict resolution, and international
politics.
The
Carolina’s
Conference is geared to meet the needs of both novice and
experienced delegates. We aim to provide a comfortable setting
for new delegates to learn rules, practice speaking, and become
familiar with Model UN procedures.
Also we look forward to hosting experienced delegates who
can try a new committee and sharpen their skills. This year we
are offering three committees: General Assembly, Security
Council, and League of Arab States.
These three committees will allow delegates to experience
the rules, policies, and procedures of these bodies that will
cover a variety of important international issues.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about
the conference at
adtruesd@uncc.edu .
Below is the updated schedule. On behalf of the UNCC
Model United Nations team, thank you for your consideration and
we hope to see many of you at the conference.
Sincerely,
Angel Truesdale
Secretary-General
Debby Olavarria
Director-General
