Letter from the

Dear Delegates, Advisors, and
Chaperones,
Welcome to Edison High
School’s 2014 Fall Model United
Nations Conference! On behalf of
the program and all those involved,
we would like to thank you for your
attendance and preparation for this
event.
We believe that this exchange
of students will provide a fresh
perspective on the important issues
being debated, and allow for new
opportunities for friendship.
Your attendance and support
make this event possible.
Our
advisors, parents, and students have
spent the past months preparing for
the conference in order to make it a
weekend of stimulating debate,
intellectual growth, and new
friendships, and hope that you feel
we have achieved this goal.
Sincerely,
