YMUN was great!

The Yale MUN Conference was a blast! In my 4 years at Yale, I think this year's conference was the best one I've seen. Delegates seemed to have fun but were well-behaved; advisors looked pleased all-around; and the staff was generally upbeat. Kudos to Secretary-General Amy Zwanziger and her Secretariat!

Better yet, this year's YMUN inaugurated the revival of Yale's MUN outreach program, led by Sabrina Howell. Every week leading up to the conference, she led a team of Yale MUNers to teach international relations to New Haven public school students. Their experience culminated in YMUN.

I met her students, who are great kids with bright futures. Read the full story from the New Haven Independent here. And check out the pre-conference coverage from the New Haven Register, too.

My next few posts will reflect on the conference. If you attended YMUN, I hope you had as great a time as I did, and feel free to comment below!
