Throughout the fall, please focus your time with students on parliamentary procedure, resolution writing, and public speaking. We will continue to hold advisor meetings focused on conference logistics.

We have pre-scheduled Lead Advisor meetings throughout the fall. We encourage you to join these calls as they will provide the most up-to-date information regarding the program. It is also a great opportunity to ask questions! All meetings will be at 4:00pm and will be recorded. Zoom/dial-in details will be shared in an email reminder as each meeting approaches.
