We’re excited to welcome you to Emory’s campus in Atlanta, Georgia this fall! This year’s conference features our signature 24-hour committee, crisis committees with villains that just won’t quit, and GAs focused on building a sustainable future. We can’t wait to share this year’s lineup of committees—see you soon!
Model United Nations at Emory XIV is the twelfth consecutive conference held by the International Relations Association at Emory University. In recent years, we have been known for providing delegates with unique and interesting challenges in our committees, and this year will be no different! Join Emory University in October for MUNE XIV!
Our secretariat and staffers build upon years of experience with every successive conference and relentlessly strive to ensure each MUNE is better than the last. We take delegate feedback seriously and actively seek the input of our delegates in the continued growth and development of our conference.
Since our debut conference in 2011, MUNE has grown from a small regional conference to hosting delegates from all over the United States. We pride ourselves on our belief in the importance of the delegate experience above all else. With this, we work to ensure that the open debate of contemporary issues is as engaging and inclusive as possible.
Model United Nations at Emory is proud to offer the 24-Hour Crisis committee. Here, delegates are challenged to demonstrate ability in both debate and cunning as they are tasked to work together in addressing rapidly changing and evolving crisis scenarios with frequent and engaging updates.
Our mission is to provide our delegates with the best delegate experience possible. We seek to impart upon both new and veteran delegates alike a Model United Nations experience that is engaging, unique, and keeps delegates coming back!
As the leaders of tomorrow, we are obligated to adopt a perspective of the world that is inclusive, understanding, and progressive. As the future is in our hands, we must educate ourselves of the world of today so that we make the world of tomorrow a better one. We believe that open debate is a crucial part of this process, and thus hope to promote progressive and innovative thinking in our conference.
Dear Delegates,
On behalf of the Emory International Relations Association, it is my esteemed privilege to extend to you an invitation to the 14th iteration of Emory’s annual collegiate Model United Nations conference, MUNE! MUNE XIV will commence on Thursday, October 2nd, and conclude on Sunday, October 5th, 2025, hosted on our very own Emory Campus here in Atlanta, Georgia.
Allow me to introduce myself, Hannah Lo, as the Secretary General for this year's conference. Having been a member of our travel team since my freshman year, it is an honor to assume this position in my third year at Emory. This marks the third consecutive fall MUNE, and following the exceptional efforts of my predecessor, Eliza Jones, we aspire to not only meet but surpass the standards set by MUNE XIII. I eagerly anticipate the participation of all delegates, and I acknowledge that such an endeavor would not be achievable without the dedication and expertise of the Secretariat Members, Chairs, and Crisis Directors of MUNE XIV.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at mune.secretariat@gmail.com should you have any questions or concerns.
We look forward to welcoming you this Fall!
Sincerely,
Hannah Lo
Secretary-General
MUNE XIV
GAIN's mission is to protect and empower immigrant survivors of crime and persecution. Founded in 2005, GAIN serves low-income individuals and families from over 120 countries, many of whom have experienced extreme trauma and face significant barriers to accessing justice and basic needs. In 2024, GAIN provided legal services and support to more than 2,700 clients and their family members across the state of Georgia, including women, children, and asylum-seekers who are often isolated, food-insecure, and without access to public benefits. Through free direct legal representation, case management, and community outreach, GAIN helps these individuals build safe, stable, and self-sufficient lives.
MUNEXIV is committing 50% of the profits from our conference fundraisers—including candy grams and merchandise sales—and 100% of our Chipotle fundraiser to GAIN. We are honored to additionally feature a guest speaker from GAIN organization during our closing ceremony.
As the Director of Client Care, Sally Sanko is dedicated to strategizing ways in which GAIN can support clients beyond their legal needs, serve clients holistically, and expand wrap-around services. Having over a decade of experience serving immigrants and refugees as a case manager, Sally is enthusiastic about community-based approaches and trauma-informed care.
Sally was born and raised in Central Kansas. She attended the University of Kansas where she began organizing with migrant farm worker unions. This experience inspired her to move to Guatemala to learn Spanish, start farming, and pursue a career in immigration-based social work. Upon graduating with her Bachelor’s in Religious Studies in 2012, Sally entered the immigration case management field as an AmeriCorps Member and completed her Masters in Social Work at the University of Kansas in 2017. During her time as a student, Sally interned with Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Program and as a Special Education Social Work Intern in public schools. Since then, Sally has had the opportunity to expand her knowledge by using a range of case management tools and approaches while providing case management for undocumented families, refugees, and unaccompanied minors in a variety of settings and is looking forward to utilizing these experiences to tailor case management programming to collaborate with GAIN clients to meet their goals.
