The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs hosts a Model United Nations conference each Fall Break (mid-October) for approximately 700 high school students from the southeast and beyond. We are looking for students to help research and plan this conference. The students will be the Directors and Assistant Directors for the 2011 Conference. Directors and Assistant Directors form the core of the conference staff, and they are responsible for running one of a dozen or so committees consisting of anywhere from 30 to 80 students. Committees range from the IAEA to GA2 (Economic and Financial); from the Security Council to the African Union; from the Commission for Science and Technology for Development to the UN Environmental Programme.
The INTA department offers a class (INTA 4812/8802) for anyone interested in becoming involved for the first time in the Georgia Tech Model United Nations (GTMUN) conference. This is an opportunity for anyone involved with the conference to get two credit hours for his or her work. The majority of the work will be done outside of class. This is for students who are serious about being a part of the Model UN Conference in the fall. The class will be graded on the timely completion of several small research papers (due throughout the semester) on topics of your choice (working in teams of two). The class is a good means to earn social science credit and become a confident committee director.
Additionally, GTMUN offers the opportunity to enhance public speaking, researching, writing, and leadership skills as GT students help educate high school students about the pressing issues facing the international system today.
Those interested should contact Graham Sweeney. If you have any questions, please contact any of the GTMUN 2011 Secretariat listed below.
