Why SOCOMUN?

​Did you know that SOCOMUN has special committees designed specifically for high school freshmen who are new to MUN? This is a great chance to meet others who are also new to MUN and to participate in a slow-paced committee where learning is the objective.

SOCOMUN offers both novice and advanced committees. If you are in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and are new to MUN or still feel nervous about going to conferences, sign up for a novice committee.

Still feeling a little bit nervous or would like some help? Come to our very own SOCOMUN Workshop Wednesday, September 25 after school in Miss K's room! You will feel more comfortable and confident in your MUN ability after attending the workshop!
​
If you have been participating in MUN for over a year or just feel like you want to challenge yourself in a more difficult committee, sign up for an advanced committee. ​

Other Information

Preparing for the Conference

1. We are holding a workshop Wednesday, September 25 after school!
2. ​NO POLICY PAPERS (however, it is recommended that you research!)
3. For more resources, feel free to check out our resources in the link below!
4. If you do not receive an award at your first conference, it is okay. Most new delegates do not always win an award as they are new and still understanding committee procedures. This is a learning experience and soon enough you will be an expert MUNer!

Tips

1. Take it easy! It is everyone's first local conference of the year so make sure to relax. 
2. Don't be lazy! Research your topic thoroughly and prepare speeches so that you feel confident. 
3. Sit in the front. Your chairs will remember you more and are more likely to give you an award. 
4. Talk with experienced people. You are more than welcome to ask the board members and other experienced MUNers questions! They are the ones who will provide you the "know- hows" of MUN. 
5. Be confident. People won't laugh at you for bad speeches because they are more focused on the content rather than how you present your speech. ​
