Message from The Founding President & Trustee
1st of all, I would like to congratulate Chittagong University Model United Nations Association for organizing CUMUN 2017. When we started our journey, CUMUN was a vision, but this vision became a reality through the organizing of CUMUN 2015. The legacy of that vision that we had imagined continued through CUMUN 2016 and finally now through a platform where the visionaries meet, CUMUN 2017.
I would like to emphasize on the proper balance between the Delegate Fee and services provided in an MUN conference. The provided service in a Model United Nations Conference should be proportionate with the Delegate fee. Because I believe that MUN is not a money making machine. Cause, if there is an imbalance between the delegate fee and conference service, then MUNs will lose their overall acceptance and merely be a luxury for the aristocracy. The benefits of MUN should not be limited to a certain class.
I would also like to add that more focus should be rendered upon Learnings in the committee sessions of an MUN conference. The endeavors of the committee sessions should not be confined to the four days of committee sessions and meet and greet only. The activities of the committee sessions should have a longer lasting significance. The delegates should be made aware of the fact that each and every delegate has their own unique attributes and these qualities can be nurtured into the point of greatness. And I believe that would be the ultimate success of an adjudicator and contribute to the noble act of creating leadership.
I dream that the MUN community would forget the dispute among themselves and work together in a united manner. That is something to look forward in the future endeavors of the MUN community. I truly believe for an MUN conference where the delegates will be all in all, excluding biasness, with no underestimating, nor heartbreaking for awards.
Finally, I would like to thank all of our sponsors, our Honorable Faculties who have inspired and supported us from time to time and the hardworking administration of University of Chittagong, who have extended their hand of cooperation from day one.
