Dear Advisors, Delegates, and Visitors,

It is my honor to invite you to the Seventy-Fourth Session of Berkeley Model United Nations (BMUN), taking place from March 6–8, 2026.

Founded in 1952 by a small group of UC Berkeley students, BMUN is the oldest Model United Nations club in the world. For over seventy years, we’ve remained committed to our mission of fostering educational equity and empowering all students—regardless of background—to think critically, speak confidently, and lead with empathy. At a time when global awareness and civic engagement feel more urgent than ever, we believe that Model UN has a powerful ability to equip students with the skills, perspective, and voice they need to make a difference.

This year, BMUN will feature 20 dynamic committees, guided by a Secretariat of driven and intelligent UC Berkeley students who have spent the past year designing rigorous, thoughtful simulations on the most pressing issues of our time.

The Model UN program is so special because it challenges students to think critically, conduct meaningful research, and engage with complex global issues—all while discovering confidence in their voice. Whether it’s your first MUN experience or your last high school conference, we hope BMUN 74 is a space where you feel challenged, inspired, and part of something greater than yourself.

Beyond the conference weekend, we remain deeply committed to outreach and accessibility. Throughout the year, we will continue offering both in-person and virtual programming, including our Delegate Workshop and our Fall Conference, a premier event focused on crisis-style simulations. Additional information about our conference, initiatives, and year-round opportunities can be found at bmun.org, which will be updated regularly with new details.

It is a true privilege to lead this organization, and I am excited to spend the year ensuring that BMUN 74 is as educational, transformative, and unforgettable as it can be. Thank you for supporting not just this conference, but the thousands of students who grow through it each year. We can’t wait to welcome you to Berkeley this spring.

Warmly,

Jaina Doshi
Secretary-General
