BIMUN Executive Director's Speech

Esteemed delegates, advisors, parents, and aspiring diplomats,

I extend a warm welcome and extend my sincere honor in inviting you to the landmark 8th edition of the Babcock International Model United Nations, scheduled to transpire from August 4th to August 8th, 2024, amidst the storied surroundings of Babcock’s campus in Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State. Our conference prides itself in being one of the most unique conferences on the collegiate circuit, which, for almost a decade, has been committed to the principles of education, excellence, and collaborative effort. Over the next six months, I look forward to eagerly collaborating with a highly accomplished Secretariat comprising 47 Babcock students to meticulously organize a conference that epitomizes the finest attributes of Babcock.

Distinguished from numerous Model United Nations gatherings, Babcock stands at the core of the BIMUN experience. Interestingly, BIMUN is so much more than just the debate and discussion that happen in committees. BIMUN delegates build friendships and make connections with people from diverse backgrounds. These relationships often go past the four days we spend at the conference together where we delve into discussions on pressing global issues within the same classrooms that have inspired leaders such as presidents, prime ministers, and policymakers from across the globe.

Spanning four days, BMUN @8 is designed to challenge delegates to actively engage and think critically. Through our various General Assemblies, Economic and Social Councils and Regional Bodies, and Specialized Agencies committees, delegates will have access to a broad range of committee forms and topics. From this wide range of options, delegates have the opportunity to find a committee that fits their interests and matches their preferred style of debate. Delegates will collaboratively pass numerous resolutions addressing a spectrum of issues, honing leadership and teamwork skills essential for shaping the future generation of global leaders.

We eagerly anticipate your presence at our conference in August 2024. To apply for BIMUN 2024, you can register here. Before registering, I strongly encourage perusing our website to learn more about the conference. This website contains information about the Secretariat, registration deadlines and fees, conference policies, and committees.
