How to Apply: Individual
How to Apply: Individual
If you are interested in attending HNMUN as an individual delegate, you will need to apply either to our unique Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) Program or to our special application crisis committees. Please note that delegations with less than six students are ineligible to receive a country assignment; therefore, each student must also apply to our NGO Program or crisis committees.
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) Program
The NGO Program is unique to HNMUN and is a fantastic opportunity for delegates to experience a wide range of issues and committees across the conference. Each NGO is allowed to visit any committee within the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, and the Regional Bodies. NGOs have the option of working in a single committee or in several committees during the conference, depending on your personal comfort level and on the relevance of your NGO to the topic areas being discussed. NGOs have no voting status, but other than that, they have the same rights as any other delegate in the committee: NGOs may make speeches, participate in caucus, and lend their expertise to formulating resolutions.
Applications for the NGO Program are available now in the Content Library area of the website and are due to specapp@hnmun.org by no later than 12 November 2009. The US$60 registration fee is due by 12 November 2009 and the US$60 delegate fee, should the application be selected, is due by 1 December 2009. Assignments for the NGO Program will be announced in late November. Please note that in addition to submitting the supplemental application, the delegate must also register online through our general conference application.
Please also note that if you are part of a delegation of less than 6 students, you are ineligible to apply for a country assignment and may therefore apply for spots on the NGO Program. However, space in the NGO Program is limited, and we give priority to delegates applying as individuals. Therefore, we highly encourage you to find at least 6 delegates, in order to qualify for a country assignment.
Thank you for your interest in the NGO Program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Kerry F. Yang, Under-Secretary-General for the Economic and Social Council & Regional Bodies, at info@hnmun.org.
Crisis Committees in the Specialized Agencies
Individuals are also welcome to apply to our innovative crisis committees in the Specialized Agencies. These spots are usually reserved for delegates with more MUN experience. HNMUN 2010 offers application spots on four crisis committees:
- North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 1961: This unique continual crisis committee allows you to apply with a delegate from another university in order to reunite with high school friends or join forces with collegiate rivals. Forming a single delegation with a foreign minister and defense minister, you will confront the bitter tensions along the Berlin Wall at the height of the Cold War.
- Junta Extraordinaria del Gabinete Mexicano: This continual crisis committee will be run entirely in Spanish. Acting as an official of the Mexican Cabinet, you will respond to crises in the war against the drug cartels and will tackle the social, political, and economic challenges facing Mexico.
- Joint Crisis Cabinet: Indian Rebellion of 1857 – British Cabinet versus Indian Rebels: In the Indian Rebellion of 1857, you may have the opportunity to play a leading role within the British Cabinet or among the Indian Rebels. India has an opportunity to gain independence 90 years before it was actually achieved, while Great Britain must fight to maintain its global hegemony.
Applications for the crisis committees are available now in the Content Library area of the website and are due to specapp@hnmun.org by no later than 12 November 2009. The US$60 registration fee is due by 12 November 2009 and the US$60 delegate fee, should the application be selected, is due by 1 December 2009. Assignments for the crisis committees will be announced in late November. Please note that in addition to submitting the supplemental application, the delegate must also register online through our general conference application, either as an individual or as part of a larger delegation.
Thank you for your interest in our crisis committees. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ricky M. Hanzich, Under-Secretary-General for the Specialized Agencies, at info@hnmun.org.
