The General Assembly- Turkey's Involvement in the European Union
The GA will be lead by Cecelia P '16 (Chair) and Mary R '16 (Assistant Chair). They both have been involved with Model United Nations club this year, and have demonstrated great leadership and organization skills.
The topic for this committee will be: Should Turkey Be Allowed to Enter the European Union?
Delegates in this committee will engage in discussions regarding Turkey's involvement, and its impact on the European Union's political, economic, and ethnic concerns.
***This Committee is open to (but not only) students how have little to no experience on Model United Nations debate.
Specialized Committee- Egyptian Constitutional Committee
Deena M '16 and Serena S '16 have been selected to lead this committee as Chair and Assistant Chair. Deena was awarded "Best Delegate" at the Bard MUN Conference this past November 2014. Her Committee topic was fairly similar to the topic she is using. Serena has been involved with the MUN Club throughout the year, and I am excited to see her become a leader at this conference.
The topic delegates in this committee will be debating is the idea of creating a bright and stable future for Egypt's Economy. This will involve four main areas that must be addressed to obtain this: subsidy reform, solvency and foreign investment, public/private sector balance, and sustainable development of domestic industry.
I am excited to see what Deena and Serena will come up with, and this will certainly be a fun and entertaining committee to be part of.
Crisis Committee- Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Carolina Martins '15, the Co-Head of the Model UN Club, has been selected unanimously to be the leader of the Crisis Committee. With past experience in the BOSMUN Conference in 2014, and Bard Conference in November, Carolina is well prepared to head this discussion and have great output. For her Assistant Chair, she has chosen to lead the committee with Mallika Machra '16, who does not have as much experience as Carolina, but is eager to learn and become a Model UN leader.
The topic for this committee is the Department of Homeland Security's mission to secure the nation from distinctive threats, and as Carolina commented on the Background Guide: "It will make for a rewarding and enriching experience that will grant you a greater level of access to the complexities of the United States security issues, and greater understanding of the world around you."
This will be an advanced committee, very fast-paced... but also very fun to participate in!
Camila, it looks like there was a lot of thought that committee selection process. Thank you for sharing the results. I'd love to hear more about how you selected the committees or did you not select them? Did they form themselves? Think about the ways your blog can document the process.
