Letter from the Secretary-General
Dear Delegates,
My name is Jack Kofron, and I am the Secretary-General of MUNE XV. On behalf of the Emory International Relations Association, it is my esteemed privilege to invite you all to the 15th iteration of Emory’s annual collegiate Model United Nations conference, Model United Nations at Emory (MUNE)! MUNE XIV will be hosted this fall on Emory University’s campus, and we are tremendously excited to welcome you all later this year.
I have been involved in EIRA since the fall of my freshman year, and it is an honor to take on the role of Secretary-General as I begin my junior year. I would like to thank my predecessor, Hannah Lo, for her amazing work last year, and for her mentorship throughout this process. MUNE has now been an Emory institution for a decade and a half, and I am dumbstruck at the thought of how many intelligent, competent students have built it up over that time. Thank you to all those who have helped make MUNE possible in the past. Finally, thank you to the dedicated members of Secretariat, chairs, crisis directors, and staffers who are making MUNE XV possible. I am confident we will deliver the best MUNE yet.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at mune.secretariat@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jack Kofron
Secretary-General
