Welcome Delegates and Faculty Advisors,

On behalf of this year’s Secretariat, I am proud to announce the theme for our 13th annual model United Nations’ symposium, CHAMUN 2012: Bridging the Divide, which takes place February 29th to March 2nd . A model UN is no small endeavor, involving lots of hard work, organization and teamwork. Our secretariat has been working as diligently as ever, ensuring that the conference is both an enriching and an enjoyable experience.

This year’s symposium will consist of two committees: The General Assembly and a specialized Crisis Committee. In our General Assembly, delegates will be discussing issues as diverse as the fall of the Eurozone and the HIV/Aids Crisis. As well, they will have the opportunity to examine the ever-present threat of our planet’s rising climate, a crisis that is at the tipping point. Our Crisis Committee will explore George Lucas’ Star Wars Galaxy with delegates taking on various roles in the Star Wars Saga.

The debates of CHAMUN 2012 will embody the principles of the United Nations: cooperation, discussion, and enlightenment. Delegates will work together towards Bridging the Divide that separates us both as individuals and as nations.

I look forward to seeing you all at CHAMUN 2012, working together to resolve the world’s crises and gain new perspective on the critical importance of the United Nations as they strive to achieve their Millennium Goals of 2015.

Best Regards,

Tobias Paul

Secretary General
