It is with great pleasure and honor that I invite you to attend the fortieth anniversary of Security Council Simulations at Yale (SCSY) conference, held from October 12 to October 15, 2017, held on the historical Yale campus. Over the past four decades, SCSY has engaged generations of delegates with a program that is unique to the collegiate Model UN circuit. This year, during our 40th anniversary, we seek to continue our excellent tradition by producing even more exciting, challenging and authentic crisis simulations with even more fun and engaging social events and programs for delegates. Our team of Secretariats will work hard put on the best SCSY conference yet.
SCSY 40 Secretariat’s main priority this year is to celebrate our four decades of history by continuing to create an unforgettable committee experience and engaging social events that will forge strong friendships. By enhancing and diversifying the committee experience to organizing new and exciting social, academic and networking events for participants, SCSY 40 will be an enriching and exciting opportunity to debate important issues and engage with other college students from around the world.
To further this goal, this year, we are launching our first ever Spanish-language committee, along with our line up of sophisticated and well-developed committees. From our famed fantasy committees to more realistic and professional committees, the committee experience will provide high-level debates where delegates will explore exciting and complex crises. This year’s conference aims to build on previous years and introduce substantial improvements: fortified chair crisis training, specific and detailed rules of procedure, and a further endowment of financial aid. It will feature contemporary, historical, and fantasy committees that will all emphasize professionalism and a focus on a realistic series of crises and events. New delegates will be able to experience a unique but quintessential MUN conference and our veteran delegates will enjoy a classic SCSY that has been upgraded based on their feedback. Our beautiful campus welcomes all delegates and teams, as will our traditional late night events: Lounge Night and Club Night.
On behalf of the SCSY XL Secretariat and staff, I hope you will join us on Yale’s gorgeous campus this fall from October 12 – 15, 2017. We look forward to seeing you soon!
