MUNday: Yale Summer Camp Launch, Guest Blogging at WorldMUN Vancouver, and NHSMUN & BMUN Recaps

Liveblog Tour

This past weekend Best Delegate was busy liveblogging from NHSMUN and BMUN. This week, we have guest blogger Larissa Taciuk blogging from WorldMUN Vancouver! Larissa was on the McGill Model UN team and staffed with us at UNA-USA’s GCIMUN. Her experience combined with her background as a Vancouver native should make the coverage interesting. The WorldMUN staff has also been incredibly supportive of Best Delegate throughout the year and we’re very excited for them this weekend!

Yale Summer Camp Launch!

Registration is now open for the Yale Model United Nations Institute! This summer camp will be co-taught by members of the award-winning Yale Model UN team and Best Delegate. Also, priority registration closes for our Model UN Summer Camp at UC Irvine at the end of the month.
