Working with the Committee Chair to Write Topic Guides

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in serving as a committee vice-chair of the Fifth Annual Yale Model United Nations Korea. This year, our goal is to build upon the success of the conference last year, and establish YMUN Korea as the premier MUN conference in South Korea. A big part of our new vision for the conference includes creating an intellectually and academically focused committee experience for our delegates. Responsibilities of the vice-chairs include:

● Working with the committee chair to write topic guides ● Attending several chair training sessions over the course of the semester and doing outside research on the topics to attain expertise ● Being available in Seoul from May 26 for training and preparation and assisting in running a committee during the conference (May 27-29)

Applicants must have a genuine interest in the conference and the educational opportunities it provides to high school students. This is a great opportunity for vice-chairs to gain valuable experience, cultivate their academic interests, and work with Yale students.

Good luck, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Andi Peng Director General Committees [email protected]
