Welcome to the Crisis Simulations!
Crisis committees are fast-paced and embody a dynamic style of debate where delegates drive the committee. Delegates act as individuals or representatives who have to balance the fine line of the committee’s interests versus their own. Each committee is sure to have unexpected surprises at every turn—all due to your own actions!
Dear Delegates,
It is with a lot of excitement that I welcome you to the 41th annual Ivy League Model United Nations Conference! My name is Gabe Greenfield, and I am honored to serve as an Under-Secretary General of Crisis Committees. This year’s Secretariat and I have dedicated immense time and effort into making this conference the best it can be, and I am looking forward to witnessing the meaningful discussions and creative resolutions that will take place this weekend.
A little bit about myself – I’m currently a sophomore, studying International Relations. Besides Ilmunc I am a member of Penn’s competitive Model UN team, the co-chair of the Interfaith Club, the founder of a dialogue initiative called Breaking Bread, and a member of the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity. I like to cook, read, write, and dance with friends.
Over the course of the next few days, you will have the opportunity to engage in spirited debate, collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds, and develop innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. Whether you are a seasoned delegate or a first-time participant, I am confident that this experience will challenge you in new and exciting ways and leave you with valuable skills and friendships that will last a lifetime.
As an Under-Secretary General of Crisis Committees, I am excited to have the opportunity to oversee the many dynamic and engaging committees that will be taking place at this conference. These committees offer you the chance to practice your public speaking and teamwork skills as you simultaneously build a narrative arc as you develop your character and yourself as a delegate. The topics of our committees will allow you to do a deep dive into a new perspective or challenge and I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
As you prepare to embark on this exciting journey, I encourage you to approach this conference with an open mind and a commitment to excellence. There is a lot going on in the world right now, and in a few years time our generation will be at the international fore. Learn about your topics, work together, debate well, produce resolutions that will change the world, and have fun. Ilmunc is a unique opportunity to further your skills and make amazing memories.
Again, on behalf of all of Secretariat, we are so excited for you to attend ILMUNC this year. It is the spirited and engaged delegates such as yourself that make ILMUNC one of the premier Model United Nations conferences across the country, and I look forward to seeing and celebrating all that you accomplish this weekend.
All my best,

The 41st Ivy League Model United Nations Conference
Dear Delegates,
I’m super excited to invite you all to the 41st annual Ivy League Model United Nations Conference! My name is Will Koo, and I’m honored to be serving as an Under-Secretary General of Specialized Committees. This year’s Secretariat and I have dedicated a ton of time and effort towards making this conference the absolute best it can be, and I can’t wait to witness all of the meaningful discussions and creative resolutions you all come up with this weekend.
A quick background on me - I’m originally from Saddle River, New Jersey, and am a junior at the University of Pennsylvania studying Philosophy, Politics, & Economics. Outside of ILMUNC, I’m involved with Penn Policy Consulting and the Wharton Asia Exchange. I’m also a huge soccer fan, and religiously watch the Premier League (if you run into me, feel free to hit me with your Top 4 Predictions)!
Over the next few days, you’ll have a unique opportunity to engage in spirited debate and collaborate with students from diverse backgrounds to develop unique solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Whether you’re a seasoned delegate or completely new to Model UN, I’m positive that this experience will be an unforgettable one, and will have you walking away with new memories and friendships that’ll last a lifetime.
As an Under-Secretary General of Specialized Committees, I’ll be responsible for overseeing all the interesting debates taking place in these smaller, more specific committees throughout the conference. These Specialized Committees were specifically designed to allow delegates to explore the depths of specific topics and areas of interest. I’m hoping that through our Specialized Committees, you all can dive deeper into broad topics, put your skills to the test, and adopt a more nuanced exploration of some of the world’s most critical issues.
As you prepare to embark on this journey over the next few days, just remember to approach this conference with an open mind and a commitment to excellence. Our world is facing a ton of problems, and the debate and resolutions you all develop during this conference could serve as a first step in the right direction. But above all else, make sure to have fun! ILMUNC is a special time not just because of your ideas, but because of who you are as people - make new friends, take on new mindsets, embark on new adventures, and make memories that you all can look back on and cherish… together.
