Dear Advisors and Delegates,
It is our distinct honor to invite you to the 16th Annual Brown University Simulation of the United Nations, 2012. Every November, our conference welcomes over 700 delegates from across North America for an exciting and memorable weekend of debate and interaction. This year’s conference will take place between November 9-11th, 2012, and will once again be held on our historic Providence, Rhode Island campus.
Our committed staff is already hard at work to ensure that this year’s conference continues the tradition of providing an outstanding Model UN experience for participating delegates. As always, we here at BUSUN hope to give delegates a chance to delve into international issues, gaining new perspectives on current global challenges. Equally importantly, our conference strives to help delegates to grow in their abilities to effectively express and debate their opinions, as well as to work with others towards a common solution.
We are very enthusiastic about the line-up of committees being offered at this year’s conference. In addition to our standard set of United Nations bodies, we are also pleased to be present some new and exciting committees for delegates, including the World Food Programme, the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force, the Interntional Olympic Committee, and the UN Human Rights Council, among others. Our joint crisis program will feature China, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, the United States, and the Russia Federation. We will also be offering a Mini-Crisis in which delegates will serve as campaign operatives in the War Rooms of Barack Obama and his Republican opponent. Finally, we will be hosting a number of historical committees from various regions and time-periods. The total number of committees will remain the same as last year allowing delegates to participate in smaller, more personalized committees.
Registration for our conference will be fully electronic this year, opening on our website (www.busun.net) by early April. Registration will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. We will continue to process new registrations until September 24, unless we reach our conference capacity before that date. Last year, demand for our conference far exceeded the available space, and the conference filled up quickly. We therefore recommend that schools that are planning to participate register as soon as possible.
In the coming months, the BUSUN team will be working hard to ensure that BUSUN 2012 is a success for all involved. As always, feel free to contact us at info@busun.net at any point with questions or concerns. We look forward to working with you to make BUSUN 2012 the best BUSUN yet. Thank you, and we hope to see you on College Hill this November!
Sincerely,
Andrew White and Kamna Kathuria
