James S. Rickards MUN

Dear Delegates, Advisors, and Parents, Hello all and welcome to the RaiderMUN II page! We at the Rickards Model UN team are delighted to have you join us on our beautiful campus for our second annual conference. RaiderMUN is fully committed to delivering an unforgettable experience that not only fosters critical thinking and collaboration but also leaves a lasting impact on all participants. Our carefully curated committees delve into a wide array of topics, each of them geared to turn out well rounded and experienced delegates. We strive to spark fresh perspectives on global challenges and inspire innovative solutions. However, our mission extends beyond conventional problem-solving. We encourage our delegates to explore new outlooks and identify practical ways to implement change, often focusing on ideas that have been overlooked or underrepresented. It is in these uncharted territories that we believe delegates will learn to flourish. At RaiderMUN, we don't just aim to nurture diplomatic skills; we're also dedicated to building lifelong friendships and fostering a profound understanding of global issues. The exchange of ideas and the spirit of collaboration are fundamental to effecting positive change. We eagerly await your presence in October 2024, and together, we will create meaningful dialogue and work collectively towards a better world! See you all soon, RaiderMUN Team. If you have any questions/concerns or are interested, feel free to contact us at rickardsmun@gmail.com!
