BarMUN

“You never forget your first time…”

The Boston Area Model United Nations Conference is the collegiate conferences hosted each October by Boston Univeristy’s International Affairs Association. BarMUN represents a standard of excellence and creativity unparalleled in any other Model United Nations simulation; the multi-disciplined, fast paced, and interactive simulation truly sets us apart from the prototypical conference. BarMUN places an emphasis on non-governmental actors, often overlooked, to add a true taste of reality. Delegates are challenged to respond and react to the decisions and actions their peers make throughout the conference.

New this year is BarMUN: Historical, six interconnected crisis committees set in 1694.  Worlds will collide in BarMUN: Historical as empires rise and fall in an attempt to control more and more of the map. In a time of newly increased global interaction, empires will rise and fall in attempts to control more and more of the map while other powers try to turn the tide in their favor.

BarMUN Facts:

  • Date: September 30th- October 3rd, 2010
  • 200 collegiate delegates; 100 dedicated staff members
  • 1 Crisis Director per committee
  • Fully Integrated Committee Tracks– each committee has the ability to contact, manipulate, threaten, demand, and react to every other committee within their track.

How do I become part of the staff?

It’s very easy!  All you have to do is fill out a simple staff application.  No Model UN experience is necessary. After you fill this application out, you will be contacted by one of our Chief Crisis Coordinators to set up a brief interview time.

If at any point you have question, don’t hesitate to email Ms. Jess Merrell, our Secretary General for BarMUN at sg@barmun.org.
