Important note: You did not have to attend BMUN as a delegate to apply to BMUN. MUN experience/knowledge is not required or given preference in our selection process.
Dear Advisors and Delegates,
On behalf of the entire BMUN Secretariat, I would like to thank you all for participating in BMUN LXXIV this past spring. The bubbling atmosphere of engaged delegates and advisors alike throughout all 20 committees motivates our team to create unforgettable and impactful learning experiences year after year. We are forever inspired by the countless hours you spent preparing for debate; in return, we are devoted to making each annual conference better than the last.
Our team is constantly on the lookout for aspiring students who are eager to pass forward their valuable skillsets to new horizons. With that being said, we would like to extend an invitation to all senior delegates who are attending UC Berkeley in the fall to apply to join our Secretariat. As a delegate, BMUN represents a three-day conference discussing pertinent international issues and unearthing delegates’ potential in policy debate and public speaking. However, as a member of our Secretariat, BMUN becomes a group of tight-knit, highly motivated individuals committed to the promotion of international issues and educational outreach.
Throughout the year our Secretariat chairs a multitude of prestigious conferences, facilitating debate all across the globe. BMUN’s mission is first and foremost education: our team hosts a wide variety of outreach events, conducting teaching workshops at local high schools to raise awareness about worldwide issues in an effort to provide a year-long educational package to the Bay Area and beyond. As a four-year veteran of high school MUN and now a senior in this organization, I can earnestly say that BMUN has given me an invaluable opportunity to not only give back to an incredibly important part of my high school career but further my interests in international relations and elevate my college experience. Our Secretariat spans ages, majors, and continents, and this diversity helps us remain well informed and educated global citizens. Our expansive alumni network jump starts many professional careers, and the opportunity of chairing international joint conferences has expanded the network of BMUN all around the world.
It would be remiss of me not to mention that this is an important year in the BMUN legacy; our members have brought unrivaled dedication to this organization for 75 consecutive years, representing an enormous milestone in our history. It is an understatement to say we are excited to continue growing this organization and welcome novel perspectives to BMUN. Our recruitment process takes place during the first three weeks of our school year, from August 26th to September 4th. We will be tabling on Sproul and will also be hosting information sessions during the second week of school for interested students to talk to current members and gain a better understanding of the BMUN experience.
If you would like more information about our recruitment timeline, information sessions, and application deadlines, please sign up for our mailing list here. The online application will open in August and will be available at bmun.org. We also encourage you to follow us on Instagram @berekleymun to see what we are up to throughout the summer. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at chief@bmun.org.
We thank you for participating in our conference and hope to welcome you again soon
Sincerely,
Brayden Matejka
