Special Reports on Model UN Circuits
We have a series of special reports this week. The first report is a ten-page article on the key differences between West Coast MUN versus East Coast MUN. Many readers became very interested in this topic especially after experiencing the differences during NAIMUN. The second report will recap Kevin’s tour of the top high school MUN programs in Florida and share some of the things that make those teams successful. Finally, the third report will actually be a guest article from a student in Puerto Rico and will provide an analysis of the competitive circuits there. These articles follow our other special report on the sudden rise of independent Model UN teams. We’re also hoping that we can get a special report on Midwestern Model UN which has significant differences in how they do and view Model UN compared to other regions in the United States — we’ve reached out to a few readers to see if they’re interested in writing a guest post.
In terms of liveblogging, Ryan will be at Berkeley BMUN and KFC will be at Nationals NHSMUN this weekend. See you there!
