A welcome from our Secretary-General:
Dear Delegates, Esteemed Guests, and Advisors,
On behalf of the entire TrojanMUN Secretariat and staff, I am honored to welcome you all to TrojanMUN 2024, a very special 10th edition of the conference. Every fall, this conference hosts over 25 colleges from across the nation as their delegates debate global issues and work together to pioneer new solutions. As I enter my 9th year in Model UN, I look forward to continuing TrojanMUN’s legacy of hard-hitting, creative, and synergetic debate over the weekend of October 24-27, 2024, in sunny Downtown Los Angeles for our 10th annual session.
This year, we aim to enhance our tradition of outstanding performance by providing a variety of committee options. Our selection ranges from classic general assemblies to unique specialized bodies and exclusive crisis committees. TrojanMUN 2024 is set to offer a broad spectrum of topics, catering to the interests of all delegates. Our team, comprising seasoned chairs and crisis directors, is dedicated to creating comprehensive background guides, engaging crisis narratives, and valuable resources for delegates. This ensures a productive and unforgettable experience in each committee.
At TrojanMUN 2024, our commitment is to foster an inclusive environment, actively addressing systemic obstacles within Model UN, especially those related to sexual, gender, religious, disability, and race-based harassment. Our aim is to ensure that everyone eager to engage in these debates can do so in a setting free from bias, discrimination, and discomfort. We believe it is our duty to make this a reality at TrojanMUN. The entire TrojanMUN staff, along with myself, are dedicated to organizing a conference that embodies these principles, guaranteeing that every delegate is treated with equal respect and consideration, irrespective of their background. To achieve this, we are focusing on staff and Secretariat training that underlines these goals. This involves fostering an atmosphere of open communication, supportive engagement, and, when required, firm and clear actions. Furthermore, we aspire for our conference and its committees to initiate meaningful discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion that extend beyond the event itself. Our intention is to bring attention to often overlooked issues and create opportunities for addressing new topics within Model UN.
As we navigate a constantly evolving world, it's crucial to acknowledge the influence we, as young intellectuals, hold. In the near future, some of us might have the opportunity to implement the solutions we're discussing in this simulated environment into actual global scenarios. Realizing this potential empowers us to envision our real impact. We are all confronted with complex and challenging issues, and it becomes our duty to apply the insights and knowledge we gain from our discussions with peers to tackle these challenges collectively. Every day brings both new and existing challenges, and we must continue to advance, drawing lessons from our history. This October, I hope we come together as global citizens, united by common values, and make a concerted effort to hear and amplify voices that are often overlooked. I encourage everyone attending TrojanMUN to deeply reflect on this viewpoint and incorporate it into their ideas and solutions, contributing to a more fruitful and enlightening weekend. With this in mind, I eagerly anticipate meeting everyone and seeing what you accomplish.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about TrojanMUN 2024!
Cheers,
