Registrations are now open for the United Nations Society’s first two-day in-house, which will be held March 24-25!

Members of the US Cabinet will have to deal with one of the most politically-explosive issues in its history even as the country descends in to unrest.

Registrations are now open for the United Nations Society’s first two-day in-house, which will be held March 24-25!

Free Cabinet delegates will need to exhibit diplomatic skill and finesse as they manage a disparate collection of allies against a much stronger foe.

Something’s Coming…

After our fantastic success at McMUN 2012, we just wanted to drop you a hint about the Winter In-House happening in March. Congratulations to our delegates who won awards at McMUN: Mark Calderaro (Best Delegate – Brad Wall – Charlottetown 2012), Honourable Mention (Colton Brydges – Guinea – UNECA), and two book awards (George Stairs - Manuel Urrutia Lleó – Cuba Crisis) (Chris Tomalty – Fathi Tirbil Salwa – Triple Joint Crisis’ Libyan Rebels)

Winter Training Session 1

Chris — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:03:43 +0000

The United Nations Society is pleased to announce the first of two all-day training sessions for the Winter term! The Indostralia-Malifranca Crisis is a unique situation for delegates. No information will be leaked beforehand, and delegates will only know their positions after they show up. The Indostralia-Malifranca Crisis follows an entirely fictional situation, and delegates will have to rely on interpersonal and delegate skills to make their mark on sensitive and ever-evolving events.

It will be held on January 21st, the Saturday before McMUN.

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY for those attending McGill Model UN AND Harvard National Model UN. Those delegates are automatically registered. If, for some reason, a delegate cannot possibly attend, they must email the Director of Training (chris [at] thetomaltys *dot* com) with their reason. Those who are not attending the conferences who wish to participate may also contact Chris to be included.

Exact time and place will be provided when available.

Winter Training Session 2

Chris — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:03:38 +0000

The United Nations Society is excited to announce the Prauge Summit, the second of our all-day winter training sessions. Following the Euro Crisis and political instability in the European Union (particularly the rejection of new European monetary terms by the United Kingdom), the EU member states and observers are meeting in Prague, Czech Republic, to hammer out major points for a new constitutional framework to replace the lackluster Treaty of Lisbon. Delegates will need to be at their best to coordinate among diverse European interests. As Prime Minister David Cameron faces pressure at home, will the UK remain in the EU? What will happen to the Euro? What about admission for Turkey, Serbia, and other countries?

It will be held February 4th.

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY for those attending Harvard National Model UN. Those delegates are automatically registered. If, for some reason, a delegate cannot possibly attend, they must email the Director of Training (chris [at] thetomaltys *dot* com) with their reason. Those who are not attending the conferences who wish to participate may also contact Chris to be included. We especially welcome delegates attending the Indostralia-Malifranca Crisis and McMUN to continue their involvement with the UN Society at the Prague Summit.

Exact time and place will be provided when available.

QMUN A Success

Chris — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:37:47 +0000

We would love to thank our wonderful, intelligent, and beautiful delegates for their hard work and commitment shown during this weekend’s Queen’s Model UN. Once again, we swept the awards, winning 3/5 Best Delegates, 3 Honourable Mentions, Best Dressed, and Best Delegation! Everyone deserves a round of virtual applause and a good three days to catch up on lost sleep.

Lesson 2 – Public Presentation

Chris — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:56:17 +0000

We had a great turnout for our second training session, revolving around public presentation. While you had to be there to get the full effect, we’ve posted the Prezi presentation for reference.
