Dear Advisors, Delegates, and members of the BUSUN community,
On behalf of the Brown University Simulation of the United Nations, we are pleased to welcome you to the 28th annual session of the conference, which will be held on the Brown University campus from November 8-10, 2024. While BUSUN continues to evolve each year, we are excited to continue some of the traditions that we believe make our conference special. We have both been working with BUSUN for the past two years and can’t wait to take everything we have learned over to bring delegates and advisors an even more valuable and exciting experience. Delegations continue to return to the conference because of our engaging committees and wonderful chairs and staff even as we had to move to an online format. As a Secretariat and staff, we value diplomacy and collaboration and will work to bring this spirit into the committee rooms this year.
We are excited to announce this year’s conference theme: Pathways to Progress. Our conference theme reflects our unwavering belief in the power of our delegates to embark on new courses toward a brighter future while developing innovative solutions to our world’s challenges that surpass those of international policy makers. In a world marked by persistent inequalities and evolving challenges, we invite delegates to question normative stances and carve out unique routes to advancement. Just as history has been shaped by bold ideas and decisive actions, let us together explore uncharted territories and forge pathways that inspire real change, empowering the diverse communities of our world. By examining current and historical issues, we hope delegates will walk away from BUSUN with a greater commitment to embody these principles in their own lives.
As we emerge from challenging times over the past few years, our commitment to “Pathways to Progress” holds even greater significance. With resilience and determination, we embark on this journey together, united in our vision for a brighter tomorrow. Let us draw inspiration from adversity, channeling our collective strength and ingenuity towards building a future that is more just, equitable, and resilient than ever before.
Now in its 28th year, BUSUN has become well known in the North American Model UN circuit for providing intimate committees, a focus on collaboration, and an enriching learning experience for delegates with the backdrop of Brown’s campus on College Hill in Providence.
On behalf of the BUSUN Secretariat and our entire staff, we are looking forward to seeing you all this November. Please contact our Director of External Affairs, Diane Dao, at info@busun.org with any questions or concerns, and be on the lookout for communications regarding the application and registration process. We look forward to welcoming you to BUSUN XXVIII!
Sincerely,
Robayet Hossain and Dre Boyd-Weatherly
Secretaries-General, BUSUN XXVIII
