Letter from the Secretary-General
Dear Delegates,
On behalf of the Emory International Relations Association, it is my esteemed privilege to extend to you an invitation to the 13th iteration of Emory’s annual collegiate Model United Nations conference, MUNE! MUNE XIII will commence on Thursday, September 26th, and conclude on Sunday, September 29th, 2024, hosted at the picturesque Emory Campus in Atlanta, Georgia.
Allow me to introduce myself, Eliza Jones, 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 final year at Emory. This marks the second consecutive fall MUNE, and following the exceptional efforts of my predecessor, Isabel Brandt, we aspire to not only meet but surpass the standards set by MUNE XII. 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 and Crisis Directors of MUNE XIII.
The theme for this year's MUNE is "Georgia on Our Minds: Emory's Model UN and Global Vision." Guided by this theme, we are curating innovative and dynamic committees aimed at transcending the traditional Model UN experience. A hallmark of MUNE is our 24-Hour Crisis committee, consistently revered by delegates. I am delighted to announce that our 24-Hour Committee will be overseen by one of our esteemed travel team head delegates, Mac Fabens. In alignment with the Georgia theme, the committee's focus will be "Saving Atlanta 2036: The Battle for the Final Waffle House." In addition to the 24-Hour committee, we intend to host at least 8 other committees, including 2 General Assemblies, 1 Ad-Hoc, and 5 Crises, covering topics ranging from the World Trade Organization to the 1994 MLB Players Strike to the 10th Annual Hunger Games: Writing a New Ballad.
We eagerly anticipate your presence on Emory’s conveniently located campus in Atlanta, providing delegates with easy access to a diverse array of dining, nightlife, and cultural attractions. Late September offers an ideal climate for exploring Georgia's offerings.
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,
Eliza Jones
Secretary-General
MUNE XIII
