DELEGATION ADVISORS
The adult advisor is responsible for the behavior of their students and compliance with all program deadlines. It is highly recommended that adult advisors assist their students in preparation for the program. Advisors should meet as a delegation on a regular basis to ensure that students are clear on program expectations and are fully prepared for the conference. This should include discussions on respect for themselves, peers, and advisors as well as academic development and preparation.

Advisors are required to attend Mock Session. At Mock Session, each advisor will be asked to sign up for a committee assignment to be fulfilled during the conference in January. Advisors are also expected to bring all of their students to the Mock Session as well as any program material that may be due at that time. Please remember that the conference will only allow 20 students per one adult advisor.

At the conference, Advisors will be asked to fulfill their selected duty, in addition to supervising their delegates. Advisors are requested to assist delegates who may have questions or concerns during the course of the conference. All Delegate Advisors are required to remain in the hallway for a minimum of 30 minutes after curfew to ensure that students remain in the rooms and are quiet.

SUPPORT STAFF
The Support Staff are former students who have graduated from the program and return to the conference to act as role models for the delegates, while providing technical assistance to the programs operation. Support Staff are assigned to a specific task for the entire weekend. Support Staff provide guidance to a chair or delegate.

DELEGATES
Each delegation to the program faces an exciting, challenging task in preparing materials to become a United Nations Ambassador. Delegates must do some intensive research on a variety of topics and be prepared to defend and debate the position(s) held by their country. Moreover, the delegate must be prepared to undertake formal negotiations within their bloc caucuses, and make impromptu speeches explaining their country’s position on the assigned topics.

An important element of the conference is the responsibility of each delegate to prepare for the conference to ensure a constructive and informed discussion on issues that will take place. Consequently students are required to write a 1-2 page (Times New Roman,12 point font, 1 inch margins, single-spaced) position paper that encompasses all the topics that will be discussed in the committee. All position papers should include the student’s name, delegation, and country. The research should be presented in standard form and be properly referenced. All position papers will be read and awards will be presented during the conference to the best papers. Papers will be judged according to readability, grammar, content, accuracy, and a demonstration of research.
