JCCC Model United Nations team is preparing to attend two spring Model United Nations conferences. The team will be attending the Mid-West Model United Nations conference in St. Louis February 19-23, 2013 where the team will be representing the United Kingdom and the National Model United Nations conference at the United Nations in New York City March 15-22, 2013 where the team will represent Zambia. As part of pre-conference preparation, team members prepare position papers. The position paper serves as a blueprint for building consensus and formulating and negotiating workable draft resolutions to resolve issues. These conferences are an exceptional educational opportunity for JCCC students and a chance to highlight the school’s academic excellence. JCCC students prepare for the conference through research for writing position papers & resolutions on the issues, speaking assignments, and participation at their own MUN simulation.
