11 DAY COUNTDOWN & INFORMATION

1) Position Papers are due by February 8th, however the HRC will be extending this deadline until February 11th. Any position papers submitted before this date will be reviewed and feedback will be provided. Delegates will have a second opportunity to re-submit their position papers for consideration of the award for best position paper. Papers submitted after this time period will not be considered for this award but will still be accepted until February 15th. The position papers are essential to allow you to make the most out of the conference.

2) Please review the past blog entries as they contain important information to helping you with either your position papers, draft resolutions, and general rules and procedures for this conference. For additional information, please access the general High School Model United Nations webpage.

3) During the conference:
-Formal Attire is required throughout the three day conference, so please no jeans/sweats/tank tops/revealing outfits.
-No laptop use will be allowed during committee session, however you are allowed to use them before, or after committee and during your breaks.
-Cell phone use will also not be permitted during committee session. Delegates caught using their cell phone will be asked to read the text aloud to the committee unless it is from their mother, in which case this fact must be stated; alternative punishments may also be considered for repeat offenders.

4) For the Banquet:
-Formal dress only, delegates arriving in casual clothing will be turned away by hotel staff.
-Comfortable shoes must be worn. The hotel will eject delegates not wearing shoes on the dance floor or in the banquet hall, this applies especially to the girls: do not wear high heels if you can't wear them for the whole night.

5) Please do not come to committee with pre-written resolutions. These will be generally discarded as it is important to draft resolutions after discussion in committee. However, we welcome you to come with many ideas!
