EagleMUNC VII Pioneers Innovation in Crisis Committees

The EagleMUNC VII Secretariat

EagleMUNC VII took place on March 22nd-24th, 2019. Nearly 700 students attended the conference, held at the Westin Copley Place in the heart of downtown Boston.

The conference opened with keynote speakers Diego Arria, former Ambassador from Venezuela to the United Nations — who developed the “Arria-Formula Meeting” used in the UN Security Council — and former Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy.

The conference featured a number of exciting and intriguing committees, as well as their 40-hour simulation. The Time Capsule Thematic committee explored how the press’ perspective has changed through time. The Pirate Republic explored the Pirate Islands in the Bahamas after the War of the Spanish. Other more traditional committees included the United Nations Security Council and the African Union. And finally, in the spirit of EagleMUNC’s passion for crisis, they held several crisis committees including Cuba: The Special Period 1990s which had continuous exciting developments.

Here’s what EagleMUNC VII Secretary-General Andres Garcia Angulo had to say about the conference:

This year at EagleMUNC, we continued to prove that our organization’s model is durable and effective. This was the first year where none of the organization’s founding members were involved. Nonetheless, we were able to put together one of the most innovative and efficient conferences yet. It is exciting to know that our organization is able to handle such a big transition and thrive! Looking forward to all EagleMUNC’s to come.

Mosaic Explore’s Faculty Advisor, Cristina Drondoe (and MUN Advisor Institute alum!), lauded the conference:

With its 40-hour simulation experience, exciting committees, as well as dedicated and knowledgable staff, EagleMUNC is undoubtedly one of our favorite annual conferences. It was run smoothly beginning to end, with many details ranging from the notepads they handed out to the delegates and the photo booth they set up for the duration of the conference, to the creative crisis staff who infused committees large and small with exciting elements. As an advisor, seeing that many hours of preparation culminated with our delegates winning several awards including the Best Small Delegation was the most incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experience!
