INFORMATIONAL MEETING
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
REEVE UNION: ROOM 221
at 6:30 PM
Student Officers will explain the functioning of Model UN and the benefits of membership, with the aid of a video and slides, to give prospective new members an introduction to Model UN.
Student officers and current members will be visiting many classes to make announcements of this meeting, though of course they cannot reach all classes. They would appreciate it if you are able to allow them a few minutes to make an announcement, when they contact you.
If you are not contacted by the student members about visiting your class by Tuesday, please announce the meeting to your classes.
Model UN is open to all students in all majors. In order to maintain the award winning tradition of the UW Oshkosh Model UN, it is vital that all interested students become involved in the organization during the fall semester, so that they have time to learn the skills necessary to continue to win awards.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR NEW STUDENTS TO JOIN MODEL UN. Starting in the fall is important to qualifying for the teams that attend the competitions.
Model UN participates in 2 large competitions each year. The National Model UN, held at UN headquarters in New York, involves over 3500 students from over 200 universities on 5 continents, including the most highly selective institutions. UW Oshkosh has achieved ranking among the top 10 Outstanding Delegations for 22 consecutive years: a record unmatched by any other University.
The members of Model UN wish to extend the opportunity to participate to all students throughout the campus, through this Informational Meeting.
Your cooperation in making this information known to students who might be interested and encouraging them to become involved in Model UN is appreciated.
Any interested students who are unable to attend this meeting should contact the International Studies office, and leave their name, phone, and E mail, so that the officers can contact them and notify them about future meetings.
Model UN will continue to meet on Thursday evenings at 6:30 throughout the academic year. The earlier new members get involved the better.
