Boston University’s 24th Model United Nations Conference
Friday, February 7 — Sunday, February 9, 2025
A BOSTON UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
Boston University Model United Nations Conference, or BosMUN, is a three-day simulation of the United Nations hosted by Boston University for high school students. BosMUN XXIV will be held from Friday, February 7th to Sunday, February 9th, 2025 in the Marriott Copley. This great achievement would not be possible without the Boston University International Affairs Association, as well as the staffers, delegates, and advisors of past and present!
Letter from the Secretary-General
Dear Advisors and Delegates,
Hi! I am thrilled to welcome you all to the twenty-fourth iteration of the Boston University Model United Nations Conference! My name is Mason Carlucci, and I am honored to serve as your Secretary-General for BosMUN XXIV. My Secretariat and I look forward to an amazing conference experience hosted at the Boston Marriott Copley Place from February 7th - 9th, 2024.
I began my Model United Nations journey in college. I had never heard of MUN before stepping into the Marriott Copley as a crisis staffer in the Jedi Council committee at BosMUN XXII. Through my time as a delegate in MUN@BU, our acclaimed collegiate Model UN team, I developed as a writer, speaker, and researcher and have been able to apply the skills learned in MUN professionally. Above all, the friends and community gained through BosMUN and Model UN as a whole have impacted me greatly, comprising some of the most important connections I have made. My vision for BosMUN XXIV is to be the place where delegates apply what they learn in committee. Model UN is more than Q&A and directive rounds. It is a place where voices are refined, and leadership is paramount. I encourage every delegate to jump headfirst into BosMUN and to walk away having had fun but also learning how to use the skills learned in committee to uplift, lead, and create a better future.
BosMUN XXIV welcomes all! The advisors and delegates, experienced or brand new to Model UN, will experience an environment that fosters growth, learning, and friendship. BosMUN is the premier training conference on the high school circuit. Our goal is more than to teach Model UN but to teach delegates how to apply the skills they learn in committee. In teaching Model UN, we will educate our delegates and empower them to create change in their futures, improve their oral and written communication skills, conduct research, apply knowledge, and collaborate in a team to make change.
I am excited to bring several logistical changes to BosMUN XXIV, giving you a smoother, more cohesive conference experience. This year, I am thrilled to introduce a new BosMUN initiative to aid up-and-coming high school MUN programs, teaching them how to apply to a conference by offering schools a personalized liaison. If you are a new school, feel free to reach out and inquire about this conference; I, along with the rest of the Secretariat, would love to chat with you about it. If you are still considering attending BosMUN XXIV, this is a conference you don't want to miss.
I want to give my thanks to each and every one of you. The delegates and advisors make BosMUN possible- without your attendance, our conference would be a bunch of college kids running around in suits. Over the past 24 years, our conference has grown tremendously. BosMUN XXIII topped 2000 attendees! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly so I can support you in any way possible.
I look forward to welcoming you all in person in February! Until then, we will be hard at work to ensure your experience at our conference is both positive and enriching.
Thank you,
Mason Carlucci
Secretary-General
