I just wanted to say how excited I am to meet you all at conference (coming up quickly!) and offer some advice/resources to give you some last minute preparation for committee.
First, BMUN is a conference focused on learning, research, and diplomacy; to do well as delegates you have to try to epitomize those tenants to the best of your ability. This means operating with kindness in caucus and imbedding all your statements with relevant research. If you are unclear what type of research is appropriate, check out learn.bmun.org. Typically, any URL that ends with .org, .edu, or .gov are considered appropriate. Avoid sites with bias, or at the very least crosscheck them with relevant sources.
Second, start writing your speeches now! In order to be comfortable in such a large committee you want to allot as much time as possible to speech preparation. At the very least, you will have preparation for multiple comments if you are not able to give your speech on one of the topics.
Lastly, I know that DISEC can seem intimidating as a Bloc A (I was in a Bloc A as a delegate last year). I swear its not as difficult as you think. Focus on making friends and showing off your research in caucus sessions.
If you have any questions you can contact any of us. My email is mmclean@bmun.org.
See y'all soon!!!
