Happy Tuesday BUIAA!
This Wednesday, we will be simulating the IMF Specialized Committee at the weekly meeting. Join us at 7:30pm in Photonics 211 for debate and discussion. You can read the Committee mini-guide and background guide here. The password is Terriers11.
The IMF is an important international organization that has gained prominence with the recent 2008 financial crisis. Here are some recent, relevant articles:

Hello! I found this post interesting! I work to develop conferences for the Ohio State University’s Model UN group.
We are thinking about running a model IMF and I am currently working to gather resources on how this may be possible. Did this simulation go well for you? Did you implement member quotas and voting into your simulation?
Our group is hoping to illustrate the power differences within the area of monetary policy on the macro level.
I welcome dialog with anyone willing to talk with me, I can be reached at sethna.4[at]osu.edu. Thank you!
I was astonished to here Tuaha come up with a new IR theory tonight: Cannoliism
Good luck guys!
Hilarious to see this…
