Dear Attendees,

On behalf of the MMUN Board of Directors and our volunteer staff, welcome to MMUN 60! As a collegiate conference that prides itself on providing a unique experience for our attendees, we encourage you to utilize this conference to its fullest potential. Break out of your comfort zone, speak up on difficult topics, and challenge yourselves to engage with diverse points of view.

When I first attended MMUN as a delegate in 2013, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was worried about not finding a working group or sounding uninformed. Lo and behold, that first conference sparked a fire in me that changed my path in life. Everyone walks away from this conference with something different. Maybe it's a different perspective you hadn't considered before, or a different idea of what you want to study, or a different set of skills that you never knew you had. Our goal is to ensure that everyone walks away with a sense of energy, commitment, and passion to address issues that impact our lives, our communities, and the world. My challenge for you is to talk to as many people as possible during this conference. Collect opinions and points of view that differ wildly from your own. Challenge yourself and your own points of view. Use this conference as a positive, inclusive, and respectful space to expand your boundaries and challenge existing biases. Thanks again for attending MMUN 60, and enjoy it to its fullest! If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to a member of staff. Best Regards, Caitlin Hopper Secretary-General, MMUN 60
