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. Country & topic research are a priority in preparing students in order to complete the required documents (position papers & draft resolutions). Delegate preparation should include discussions on respect for themselves, peers, and advisors as well as the academic development and preparation.

Advisors are assigned to a committee assignment during the conference in January. 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 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 which is primarily to provide guidance to a chair or delegate.

RESOURCE ROOM
The Resource Room serves as a resource for delegates throughout the conference. If you have any questions or simply want to update or supplement your research, you may be able to find what you need in the Resource Room. The Resource Room will serve as the center of crisis development, informal caucuses, communication between member nations, and research materials. The Resource Room will be open throughout the conference as a place where delegates may find guidance and information. The Resource Room will have files of all the Country Research Forms and Position Papers prepared for the conference. Delegates may access these files and documents. Additionally, the Resource Room will have supplementary resources about United Nations Member States as well as other reference material. The Resource Room will also have internet and computer access for delegates to research information on their own and prepare documents.

HOME OFFICE
The Home Office serves as the central processing point for the conference. All administrative activities for the conference take place here. In case of an emergency or to leave a message for anyone associated with the conference, please stop by this office located in the coatroom across from the Chocolate Ballroom.

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.
