The Five College Model United Nations (FCMUN) celebrated its fifth year this year. The fifth year is when we deem a conference to have matured from its early years as the founding class has graduated by now. With this growth in place, the conference is stronger than ever, and we explain why below. Check out the liveblog of the conference!

The Five College Model United Nations conference will be in its fifth year this year, so here are five reasons you should attend!
5. The keynote speaker our opening ceremonies is Gillian Sorensen, who is currently the Senior Advisor and National Advocate at the United Nations Foundation. She was appointed by Secretary General Kofi Annan to serve as Assistant Secretary General for External Relations. She is currently a member of the Council on Foreign Relations as well as the Women’s Foreign Policy group. She has an amazing wealth of experience in public service and will be available for a Q & A session. This is a benefit of a smaller conference that focuses in depth on delegate reaction to crisis as well as delegate interaction.
