WestMUN XX • March 29-31, 2012 • Santa Barbara, California

Welcome to the twentieth annual Western Collegiate Model United Nations to be held March 29-31, 2011 at Santa Barbara City College. We are exited about celebrating our twentieth anniversary this year and we invite you to celebrate with us. For the last twenty years WestMUN has been dedicated to preparing students to be delegates and providing them with a forum to debate current international issues. continue>>

This year our conference will feature six committees, two of which are unique to this year. We are pleased to announce that for the first time in WestMUN's history, we will be featuring the Historic Security Council set in 1991 and the UN Human Rights Council to celebrate both the twentieth anniversary of WestMUN and of the change in the World Order that came with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Additionally, we will be hosting four of the key committees typical to the Model: the UN General Assembly, the UN Security Council, the World Health Organization and the International Criminal Court.

But, WestMUN this year is also about career opportunities. We will be holding a career fair that will host representatives from various NGO's and governmental agencies to introduce our delegates to possible careers in international relations and public policy.

Please review the website and contact us for further information. We appreciate your time and attention and look forward to seeing you in March!

Sincerely,
Gloria Lopez
Secretary-General
