Dear Delegates, Faculty, and Friends,

Welcome to the website of Kennesaw State University’s 24th Annual High School Model United Nations Conference! The entire 2010 KSUHSMUN staff, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Political Science and International Affairs, as well as the entirety of Kennesaw State University would like to thank you for your participation and dedication to this model.Welcome to the website of Kennesaw State University’s 23rd Annual High School Model United Nations Conference! Along with the entire KSUHSMUN staff as well as the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Political Science and International Affairs, we would like to thank you for your participation in this model.

Since 1986, KSUHSMUN has strived to be a premier model conference for high school students in Georgia. The participation and dedication we have received from students, faculty, staff and supporters like you, have allowed our conference to continue to grow over the years. Change will always be a part of conference structures due to new staff, students, and the issues that we face continuing to be in flux.

To keep up with change, the committee structure has been altered slightly. While this year's conference will not include such committees as the International Court of Justice or the UN Environmental Programme, we have added such specialized committees as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Commission on the Status of Women. With the ever changing world we live in committees will continue to fluctuate year after year to relate to the problems and issues most pressing. However, committees such as General Assembly Plenary and Security Council continue to be the keystone of this conference.

The entire KSUHSMUN staff is constantly working on improving our conference to continue to deliver on the outstanding reputation we have garnered over the past 23 years. If there are any comments, concerns, or suggestions please contact the Secretariat at the e-mail links below and we will be happy to respond to your insights. We would also like to extend an offer to provide personal assistance to schools that request aid in learning or perfecting elements of HSMUN such as position papers and delegate preparation. For those teams who are interested, Faculty Advisors are invited to contact the Secretariat to schedule an appointment so that we may share our insights and experience.

We also ask that you check the website regularly as changes may occur. The Country Matrix will be available to view which countries have already been assigned and updated regularly to reflect which countries will be represented at the 2010 KSUHSMUN.

The 2010 KSUHSMUN Staff is very dedicated and honored to be serving you for this upcoming Conference. Again, we welcome you to the 2010 KSUHSMUN Conference and wish you the best of luck with your research and preparations. Please do not hesitate to ask questions and to contact us as we are here to help. We all highly look forward to seeing you in committee!

Sincerely,

Rebecca Gallegos
