WUMUNS: WUMUNS Assignments can be found here. WUMUNS delegates need to read through their background guide and read the Crisis Committee Strategy guide. Information on position papers will be shared soon. WUMUNS is Oct. 18-20th.

Novice Delegates: MUN can be overwhelming with so many different procedures, terms, and tactics. Pick one or two articles from our MUN Strategy Articles to read. You will be asked to share what you learned with the rest of the group, so take notes if necessary. You should also either bookmark or make a copy of this document for easy reference.






NoMUNC Research
The first step in research for Model UN typically begins with country research. Tonight, those of you participating as delegates at NoMUNC will receive your country/committee assignment. You will want to read through the background guide (located on the NoMUNC website) and begin researching the two committee topics.

Welcome to the 24-25 LNMUN Year!

 Welcome!


Tonight marks our first official meeting of the school year as we set out to make 24-25 our most successful and fun MUN year ever. Here is an overview of tonight's agenda:

1. Welcome & My Most Amazing Friend Speeches (5 minute interview, 30 second-1 minute introductions)



3. NoMUNC: Liberty North is planning on hosting our very own conference this year. The Northland Model United Nations Conference (NoMUNC) is scheduled for Saturday, December 7th. Schools from across the area have been invited. As conference hosts, LNMUN students will be running committees, helping coordinate logistics, and planning the entire conference. To be considered for our travel conference to Boston, students must either be part of the Secretariat or participate as a delegate for NoMUNC.




6. HMUN (Boston): We will be taking approximately 14 students to Boston for this large, competitive conference. It will be held January 30-Feb 2. The traveling team will be determined based on performances at previous conferences and NoMUNC.




7. Future meeting dates: Plan on Monday evenings 6:00-7:00p in the  LMC unless otherwise noted.


8. LNMUN Member Recruitment: encourage underclassmen to join us!
