This is a friendly reminder that the March JPSMUN will be held tomorrow at John P. Stevens High School. Doors will open at 7:45 A.M and we expect everyone to have arrived by 8:00 A.M. Delegate fee is $25. Being that opening ceremonies will be brief, and we are running on a very tight schedule, we will go into committee session soon after at 8:15.
All delegates are expected to wear western business attire, and position papers are not required for this conference. If, however, delegates complete these papers, we will grade them and have feedback for you by the end of committee.
Please have your rides by 4:45; for individual school delegations, you must have at least one adult advisor present.
We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
