Dear Delegates, Advisors, and Friends,
My name is Stephanie Siu and I am the Secretary-General of the Model United Nations of the University of Chicago (MUNUC), one of the largest Model UN conferences in the United States attracting over 2,400 delegates from around the world annually. I would like to personally invite you and your school to participate in our conference this year for MUNUC XXI from February 5-8, 2009 at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel in Chicago.
This year more than ever, MUNUC is committed to bringing the most enriching educational experience possible to all of you. On committee side, that means incorporating fresh elements into the committees that we run. For instance, we will be running a continuous-crisis simulation of the U.S. National Security Council this year for the first time in MUNUC’s history. On conference side, that means continuing to bring in top-quality keynote speakers and other guests.
Our commitment to delivering this premier educational experience also extends beyond the conference itself. In particular, our outreach staff will be collaborating with a variety of local merchants and institutions from museums and art galleries to our University’s admissions office to arrange pre-conference events and opportunities suitable to delegates from around the world. We look forward to making your experience in Chicago as fulfilling as possible, so please consider these additional educational opportunities should you plan to attend our conference. Information regarding these pre-conference events will be posted on our website.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at secgen@munuc.org or at (773) 834-0547. I look forward to working with you in the coming year!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Siu, Secretary-General of MUNUC XXI
