Notes for Teachers

Student Dress code:

Western business formal attire. No matter what country you represent, you will wear Western business attire. Costumes or traditional dress to mimic an assigned nation are not permitted. Students of Jewish or Muslim faith are welcome to wear yarmulke or hijab as those are not costumes.

● No visible skin around the waist, shoulder blades, or thighs. No cleavage. ● No shorts. ● Skirts should be knee length or just above the knee. ● No jeans. ● No underwear should be seen. That’s why it’s called underwear.

For men, a tie and collared shirt are required. A jacket is not required, but highly encouraged for those in intermediate and advanced committees. We do not ask anyone to go purchase a jacket; however we believe that that ties are easily and affordably attainable. (Yes, the tie goes around the neck.)

You will be walking across campus. We advise against 4 or 5 inch heels as well as flip flops. Wear business appropriate shoes if you have them.

Do not wear cologne or body spray that is obtrusive. If you can be smelled at the five foot range, it’s too strong. People have chemical allergies.

Be aware that MUN draws students from many cultures. Dressing professionally is a way for you to demonstrate respect for others.

If you have questions, ask your teacher. You can find more guidelines at the UNAUSA site. http://www.unausa.org/global­classrooms­model­un/how­to­participate/model­un­preparation/dre ssing­for­success

If what you wear is distracting or inappropriate for a Model UN competition, you will be removed from the competition and get to spend a quality day following around your teacher.
