Hey y'all! I know this may be many of y'alls first Model UN conference, so I wanted to share a few tips on parliamentary procedure! I encourage you all to read our official Rules of Procedure when you receive your delegate guide, but in the meantime, here's a handy presentation! A fellow staffer made it last year for his committee, and I tweaked it a but, but the point is to give y'all a (colorful!) handy intro to the main points of parliamentary procedure!

Hey y'all! Your position papers have been steadily rolling in and I'm so excited to read them all and see what you guys have come up with. I can already tell that we're going to have some really interesting, in-depth committee sessions!

I wanted to take a moment to talk about how to turn your hard work and research into great speeches.

Hola all!

Egypt is steady going and its development will be integral to how we deal with the Israeli Occupation of the Golan in a couple of weeks. Below is a link to a National Public Radio (NPR) broadcast that summarizes the newest developments.
