Overview
BruinMUN 2024 will take place the weekend of November 09th - 10th, 2024 on the beautiful UCLA campus. Continuing our three decade legacy of fostering engaging and collaborative debate, we will be hosting a total of twenty-seven committees including thirteen general assembly committees, eight novice committees, and six crisis committees. We strive to create an accessible and inclusive Model UN experience for delegates of all experience levels and interests.
Details
Hello Esteemed Delegates and Advisors,
My name is Kamran Sheriff and it is my honor to serve as Secretary General for the 32nd iteration of BruinMUN along with some of the best people I have ever known on the Secretariat and staff alike. It is also my pleasure to welcome you onto UCLA’s campus as BruinMUN 32 transpires on the weekend of November 9th -10th. In this conference, you will debate with like-minded colleagues across twenty-six different committees on topics spread out all over the world and throughout history. These twenty-six committees include fifteen general assembly and ECOSOC committees, 5 specialized committees, and 6 crisis committees. Of these aforementioned committees, 10 of them will be novice committees to cater to younger and more inexperienced delegates and to function as a gateway to one of the most fulfilling activities I have participated in as a student.
Upon being presented with their topics, delegates will sharpen their research skills and develop niche interests in various issues that affect and influence an increasingly complex world. With research, collaboration, and discussion, delegates will formulate and propose solutions to these problems, and hopefully create long-lasting passions that remain with them long after their tenure in Model UN has elapsed. Most importantly to me, I hope that by meticulously crafting, scrapping, and workshopping their ideas in committee with their peers, delegates will be engrained with a sense of vigor and confidence that will inspire them to lead and improve the world as they grow older. After all, having good ideas means nothing if you do not have the conviction to pursue and realize it with everything you have.
With that, please contact me or our Director of External Relations with any questions, comments, or concerns at sg@bruinmun.org or external@bruinmun.org.
All of us at MUN at UCLA are excited to see you November 9th-10th for BruinMUN 32!
Sincerely,
Kamran Sheriff

On the registration form, you will indicate the number of in-person and online allocations you are requesting. We will make every effort to accommodate this request; however, due to committee capacity constraints, we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
For the purpose of calculating fees, your ‘registration period’ is considered to be the date on which you registered, regardless of when we bill you.
All payments are due 30 days from receipt of the invoice or at 9:00am on the day of the conference, whichever occurs first. Please contact finance@bruinmun.org if you have any issues with paying your invoice by the due date.
Partial Fee Waivers
Model United Nations at UCLA is committed to ensuring that all students can gain skills in debate and foreign affairs through MUN. To that end, partial fee waivers covering 50% of registration fees, including both delegation fees & per-delegate fees, will be granted to all public high schools which have received Title I funding for at least the past two years. California public schools may check their status using the lists available here, others can use this portal. Delegations not covered by this policy or which are in need of further assistance may apply for additional fee waivers on a case by case basis by contacting finance@bruinmun.org.
