Welcome to ILMUNC XXIX

What is ILMUNC?

Hosted by the International Affairs Association at the University of Pennsylvania, the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference (ILMUNC) is the premier Model United Nations conference for high school students. Each January, we gather roughly 3000 students from around the world to participate in a weekend of stimulating debate, hands-on learning, and enjoyable activities in Philadelphia and on Penn’s scenic campus.

ILMUNC XXIX will be held from Thursday, January 24 to Sunday, January 27, 2013 at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel, in the heart of the city of Brotherly Love.


Welcome to the conference!

Dear Delegates and Faculty Advisors,

It is my pleasure to invite you and your school for another year of passionate debate, negotiation, and consensus-building at the twenty-ninth session of the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference.

We are proud to present 24 diverse committees, ranging from traditional Model UN committees to unconventional crisis simulations. These committees will certainly challenge and engage delegates as they seek to address some of the most relevant and interesting global issues facing the international community.

ILMUNC also provides the unique opportunity for high school students to take campus tours of the University of Pennsylvania – one of the nation’s finest institutions of higher learning. We invite delegates to attend our popular college life panel, where University of Pennsylvania students share their experiences about applying to college and life at Penn.

Additionally, we will strive to continue our tradition of excellence by emphasizing innovation and creativity, particularly with regard to conference technology and the substantive aspect of the delegate experience.

If you have any questions or concerns, I would encourage you to email me (sec-gen@ilmunc.com) or call me (321) 345-6862 at any time. I look forward to working with you in the coming months and cannot wait to see you in January!

Best Regards,

Yadavan Mahendraraj
