Invitational Conferences 2017-2018 Any time a student travels with MUN (even to local conferences) they should consider it an audition for the next year s travel trips. In addition to being a good delegate, students should show maturity, the ability to listen to and follow directions, and respect for authority. Students need to be able to get along with others in the group and be easy to travel with. Invitational Conferences - Applications Due February 27, 2017 * Please note that applications are happily accepted before the deadline too! There is no need to wait until the last minute. MUN teachers have been sending emails for almost a month now encouraging students to turn in their applications early! Invitational Conferences don t count towards conference requirement credit! China (March $4300) - Senior invitational trip with a limit of 10 delegates. We would love to be able to take more but the conference limits us to ten delegates and this is about the appropriate best size for a group traveling in China. Montreal (November $3000) - Senior invitational trip with a limit of 12 delegates. London (October $4000) - Junior invitational trip with a limit of 18 delegates. Possible conflict with Homecoming Dance Philadelphia (January $2500) - Junior invitational trip with a limit of 20 delegates. Possible conflict with Winter Formal UC Berkeley (March $600) - Sophomore invitational trip with a limit of 30 delegates UCSB (February $350) - this trip is during President s day weekend (limit 20 delegates)
