Hello Delegates! 

   Some of you may be veterans of Model UN, and others might be new to the program. Everyone's first Model UN conference can be pretty intimidating, and so I wanted to share with you some debate tips presented by Best Delegate. Feel free to read the article even if you have done Model UN before, because every helpful hint can help you hone your debate skills. The only piece of advice I would add to this list is that everyone should recognize that above all else Model UN is a learning experience, and if you can approach conference with this healthy mentality every conference becomes a success.

Good luck!

New ICO by Venezuela?

Hi delegates! We're less than a week away from BMUN and we're so excited to meet all of you soon! This article came out in the Washington Post a few days ago regarding Venezuela's attempt at fighting its inflation by launching its own cryptocurrency (what a great amalgamation of both our case studies!) So far, Venezuela has been able to raise almost $1 billion but what are your opinions on this "Petro" coin? Article: " Venezuela launches the ‘petro,’ its cryptocurrency" by Rachelle Krygier See y'all soon! Sherry

Topic 1 Article: Long-Term Effect of Refugee Employment Bans

Hello delegates! The Immigration Policy Lab at Stanford and ETH Zürich released a paper in November of last year around the long-term effect of refugee employment bans. The link to download the paper can be found at https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/working-papers/long-term-impact-employment-bans-economic-integration-refugees . Although it seems lengthy, I’d like to direct you to the Introduction (pages 3-5) and Discussion (pages 11-12) sections as likely the most valuable for your purposes – the rest of the paper largely concerns a case study on Yugoslav refugees who arrived in Germany in 1999 and 2000 which may be enlightening but mostly concern details about the study and how it was conducted.  See you all at conference next week!
