The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools
Model United Nations Seventh Conference
Attracting over 700 delegates annually, LABMUNC VII is one of the premier high school-run Model UN Conferences. We are committed to hosting a competitive conference that brings together schools around the Chicagoland area. Over the last decade, LABMUN has consistently won delegation awards at prestigious collegiate conferences like Princeton, Georgetown, Penn, Yale, and Northwestern.
To uphold the highest standards for our conference, LABMUNC is staffed by seasoned delegates with extensive experience competing at the peak of high-school MUN. We hope to provide a fun and engaging environment for our delegates, with committees set to debate some of the most important issues in our world today.
LETTER FROM THE SECRETARIES GENERAL
Dear Delegates and Faculty Advisors,
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools for what promises to be a day of spirited debate, creative problem-solving, and memorable experiences. Whether this is your very first conference or one of many, we are so honored that you have chosen to spend your Saturday with us!
This conference was built by students who love Model UN and believe in its ability to inspire curiosity, confidence, and community. At its heart, Model United Nations is about more than writing resolutions or winning awards. It is about stepping into someone else's shoes, challenging your own assumptions, and working with people from different backgrounds to solve difficult problems.
Over the past year, our Secretariat and staff have dedicated countless hours to designing engaging committees, preparing background guides, and planning every detail of this conference. This year, delegates will debate everything from waste colonialism and affordable healthcare to the politics of Bridgerton's Marriage Mart and the fate of Middle-earth. Whether confronting some of the world's most pressing challenges or embracing one of our more lighthearted committees, we encourage delegates to approach every committee session with passion, while remaining willing to listen, learn, and even change their minds. While some topics may invite creativity and humor, many of the issues we discuss represent the lived experiences of real people and communities around the world. We hope that every delegate remembers the human stories behind the policies and conflicts they debate and treats them with the empathy and respect they deserve. Most importantly, we hope you enjoy the day. Introduce yourself to someone new, take risks in committee, and embrace the opportunity to learn from your fellow delegates. The best conferences are not defined by the awards won, but by the ideas shared and the connections made.
Thank you for being a part of LABMUNC VII. We cannot wait to see the energy, creativity, and diplomacy that you bring to our conference. Welcome to Hyde Park, and welcome to LABMUNC.
All the best,
Gabi, Austen, Jessica & Bryce
