GatorMUN Updated Policies Announcement
Registration InvoicesDue to complications with our automatic invoice system in the past, we are returning to manually created invoices. Thus, you should expect a maximum of a two day delay on receiving your invoice after registering your team for GatorMUN XV.
We apologize for any inconvenience this creates, but this will make the entire process smoother and easier for both you as advisors and our team here. |
Delegations Award CategoriesWith the growth of the conference, and our continued wish to encourage everybody to attend we will be introducing a Medium Delegation category to delegation awards. This will allow all teams to remain competitive regardless of their delegation size.
Based on previous years' numbers the following is the projected break down of the three categories:

Split Delegations
We are changing our policy on splitting delegations to ensure that the conference remains fair for every delegation attending. This year, we will allow you to split your delegation into two teams (varsity and novice) under the following conditions:
We hope that these changes will allow delegations that are vastly larger than the rest to have a fighting chance at placing as well as keep the conference's integrity for the smaller delegations.
- Your delegation falls into the Large Delegation Category before AND after the split. In other words, your total delegate number must be at least 50.
- So long as your delegation is greater than 51 delegates, you will be allowed to split your delegation into two teams.
- If you have between 50 and 74 delegates, you will be allowed to do a 1:1 split for your delegation. So a delegation of 50 will have a varsity team of 25 and a novice team of 25.
- If you have greater than 75 delegates, you will be allowed to do a 1:2 split for your delegation. So a delegation of 75 will have a varsity team of 25 and a novice team of 50.
- You must email us well in advance of the conference to notify us of your decision to split your team into two smaller delegations, preferably at the time of registration.
We hope that these changes will allow delegations that are vastly larger than the rest to have a fighting chance at placing as well as keep the conference's integrity for the smaller delegations.
Greetings from the Secretary General
Dear Advisors and Delegates, It is my pleasure as Secretary-General to formally invite you all to the fifteenth annual Gator Model United Nations conference, which will be held on January 19th through January 21st of 2018. GatorMUN is the largest high school Model UN conference in the southeast, and offers a range of topics and committee choices to challenge and expand the international awareness of delegates to help them grow into global citizens. Delegates will have the opportunity to improve their public speaking skills, become stronger writers, and work toward diplomatic solutions with their peers- faculties that will serve them throughout their high school career and professional life. Although GatorMUN upholds the competitive aspect of Model UN conferences, the ultimate goal is for delegates to learn about the world around them, both past and present, and understand the implications of their actions on the future. On that note, the theme of this year’s conference is “Our Common Future”, a concept about which I am personally very passionate. The goal of this theme is for delegates to consider the impact that each individual has on one another and the global issues in society that are intrinsically linked. There are few topics that are discussed in the United Nations that do not have international implications based on the choices of other countries. This can be seen by the effects of carbon emissions from developed nations on the climate of the global south, human rights campaigns in the Middle East that had a domino effect on other states, and even the economic results of Brexit on the rest of the European Union and the entirety of its trade partners. While crafting resolutions to address the problems at hand, delegates should consider the effect that these decisions will have on the world as a whole, not just on the countries represented or within the scope of the topic. I hope that this will help delegates consider their personal impact on the world, simultaneously understanding that the future of everyone is connected when it comes to the issues that plague our internationally community today. . . read more |
