The 26th iteration of Maggie Walker\u2019s own Model UN conference, GSMUN, will be held on March 22-23! Our team has been working incredibly hard, and we\u2019re so excited to bring a weekend of debate and diplomacy to more than 500 student delegates this year! We\u2019re also partnering with the nonprofit Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and we\u2019re on track to donate more than $10,000 to their incredible cause. However, we rely on community donations and support to fund staff training, meals, merchandise, delegate supplies, and more for the conference. If you\u2019d like to support our students, please visit tinyurl.com\/supportgsmun<\/a> or learn more at our website, gsmun.net<\/a>. Thank you so much for allowing us to continue this Maggie Walker legacy!<\/p>\n

“Over the last 26 years, GSMUN has transformed from a humble conference consisting of only 100 delegates from Richmond to a conference of over 500 delegates, who stem from all across the nation. However, from the very beginning, GSMUN has prided itself on creating an unparalleled experience of debate, diplomacy, and engagement for both veteran and novice delegates alike. This year, GSMUN will be composed of 18 committees, diverse in both region and time period, that range from the rise of the Brazilian Empire to the downfall of Standard Oil. In addition to that, we have also brought back the Ad Hoc committee of the Secretary General, where delegates are tasked with devising solutions without any prior information of the committee, topics, or positions. <\/p>\n

All 18 of our committee represent this year\u2019s theme – United We Stand<\/em>. In a world where polarization has reached an all time high, it\u2019s important to remember the original goal of the United Nations: global cooperation. At GSMUN, it is our greatest wish that delegates become more effective and compassionate leaders, who, through collaboration, can be the catalyst for positive change in their communities.” <\/p>\n
