BruinMUN Topic Synopses
For those high schoolers reading this:
First of all, hi! Thanks for reading this blog.
If you haven't already checked, then the topic synopses have been uploaded. Definitely read them, research them, and write awesome position papers that will stun the chairs (like me) with the detail of your ridiculous research.
If you're in a novice committee, then don't be afraid to ask your schoolmates, high school advisor, or chair about anything.
If you want to contact your chair, then check the email at the bottom of the committee page. We'll be diligent in our response.
Alternatively, you can always message us here on Tumblr, DM us on Twitter, or write us a wall post on Facebook.
See you November 9 at BruinMUN!
FIRST MEETING
Who's excited?!
Well, we're excited to meet you and show you what MUN is all about (despite what its name sounds like, it's not just about debate, debate, debate).
We've got some great opportunities for you and your resume:
EXECUTIVE STAFF
We're looking for some executive staff to help out our various members of executive board and executive staff even. For example, if you like blogging, then we've got an assistant social media manager open. The message box is always open for your questions, though there's an application you'll definitely want to keep your eyes open for.
BRUINMUN 2013
Incidentally, the best is saved for last in this post.
There are a LOT of staff positions open for our fall conference for high schoolers. You can serve on dais, conference staff, or for our brand new International Press.
If you don't know what those words mean, don't worry. We'll definitely explain.
Pictures from Orientations 101-106. If you're in the second half of freshman orientations, come stop by our table and listen to all the awesome reasons you should join MUN@UCLA :)
We're perfectly friendly and would love to hear from you.
Conferences We Host
BruinMUN 2013
November 9-10, 2013
BruinMUN is the high school-level conference that we host on-campus at UCLA. It is one of the premier high school MUN conferences on the West Coast. In 2012, we attracted close to a thousand students; a record which we are looking forward to surpassing this year. This year, we are going to have twenty-one different committees, with interesting and engaging topics and dynamics! It will also feature two new novice committees: Novice UNICEF and Novice UNHRC (the latter of which Adrienne is extremely excited to chair!)
UCLA students: Staff applications will open Week 1, so be prepared once fall quarter rolls around!
High school students: Register for BruinMUN (opening soon) <a href="http://www.bruinmun.org/high-school-conference/">here</a>. Once you've registered, you can gain access to topic synopses and start preparing for what is going to be an undoubtably exciting and intriguing weekend.
LAMUN 2014
April 3-6, 2014
LAMUN is the collegiate conference we host at the Sheraton in downtown Los Angeles. LAMUN 2013 featured eight exciting and dynamic crisis committees ranging from zombie pandemics to World War II. We're excited to expand our horizons for LAMUN IX. Stay tuned for more details!
UCLA students: Tentatively, chair and crisis director applications will open at the end of fall quarter, while staff applications will open at the beginning of winter quarter.
Collegiate students: We're preparing an awesome conference for you in 2014. Meanwhile, follow this blog and watch for updates. We hope to see you here in sunny SoCal!
Travel Team Conferences
We have definite plans to travel to four conferences, with a fifth tentatively scheduled at this time. Follow us for updates!
1. Georgetown NCSC - October 2013
2. McGill University MUN - February 2014
3. UC Berkeley MUN - March 2014
4. University of Chicago MUN - April 2014
Tentative:
OCMUN - October 2013
MUN@UCLA has a competitive tryout process for all the conferences. While that does sound intimidating, your flight and hotel are all paid for by the club so all you have to do is bring yourself, WBD, and your research. It's a sweet deal.
We host tryouts at least a month prior to the conference. Application links and updates will be posted here. Alternatively, you could come to meetings and have fun with us.
