The Preparation Series is a brand-new, totally optional suite of online coaching sessions designed to give every BosMUN delegate—whether you’ve never debated before or you’re a seasoned chair—a clear competitive edge. Hosted by the Head Delegates of the Boston University’s competitive Model UN team (currently ranked 4th in the nation), these sessions will walk you, step by step, through every skill you’ll need to shine at our conference in February! Open to all delegates and completely free, this training platform ensures that every delegate arrives at BosMUN ready to debate, collaborate, and reach for the stars!
