The MSU Texas Model United Nations invitational conference provides two simulations for participating students. The first simulates a General Assembly plenary session and will include two topics. The second, simulates a Security Council meeting and will largely be governed by current international events. While the General Assembly Plenary Sessions are more formally structured the Security Council will be more fluid and include a topic that is driven by real world political issues. Delegates participating in this simulation should be fairly informed on the issues of the region.
Below are a series of resources to help you prepare for the upcoming conference.
