Dear Delegates,

 

Welcome to the twenty-sixth session of the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference. My name is Taylor Williams, and I am Under-Secretary-General for the Crisis Committees along with Fernanda Dobal. I am a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences and am studying History and Classical Studies. I have been an active participant in all aspects of Model UN since high school.

 

The ILMUNC XXVI Secretariat has been working very hard since March to make this the best ILMUNC yet. This year we have eight Crisis committees, all of which should offer strong debate, require on your feet thinking, and be lots of fun. I am especially excited for the World War II committees because I am a huge history buff, and I want to see if, using the knowledge we have of the past and of the personalities involved, the war can be prevented. In addition, I worked on the ad hoc Committee of the Secretary-General for UPMUNC, our collegiate conference, and I can promise you that it will offer interesting geopolitical situations that are exceptionally important to our world but often fail to make it onto other conferences’ agendas.

 

Throughout the conference I will be visiting each committee room with updates, food, and to ensure that the Crisis Committees provide an unparalleled delegate experience. Please feel free to contact me before or during the conference with questions, concerns, or just an introduction.

 

I hope that each of you will conduct close readings of the background guides as they have been carefully prepared to present overviews of the issues at hand. Good luck with your preparation and see you at ILMUNC XXVI!

 

 

Best,

Dear Delegates,

 

I’m thrilled to welcome you to the twenty-sixth session of the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference. As your Under-Secretary-General for Crisis Committees and Regional Simulations and Director of Development, I am quite excited to be working with you for what I am sure will be our greatest conference yet!

 

From turmoil of the past, to contemporary dilemmas, I am thrilled to be working with a group of incredibly talented staff to ensure a fantastic experience for our delegates. We are brewing a selection of engaging committees and interesting crises with the hope of keeping you on your toes over the weekend. So feel free to contact me with questions or queries at any time (or, if you’d just like to say hello!)

 

As for me, this is my third ILMUNC, which is a claim that should make my passion for Model United Nations quite clear. I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and grew up moving around. After roughly ten years in Sydney, Australia, I returned to finish high school in São Paulo. Currently, I am pursuing a double major in Philosophy, Politics & Economics and Visual Studies at the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Pennsylvania.

 

I look forward to seeing and meeting you at conference. Please don’t hesitate to contact me or approach me at conference. Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck in your committees and hope that you have a brilliant time!

 

 

 

Cheers,
