Both the novice committee and a non-novice committee will simulate the United Nations Development Programme at WAMUNC. This structure will allow experienced delegates to guide their less-experienced peers throughout the Model UN preparation process, although the two committees will debate separately throughout WAMUNC.

Press Corps WAMUNC XIV is excited to bring back the Press Corps after a long hiatus from the conference. Delegates interested in journalism and public affairs will have the chance to explore each and every committee being held at WAMUNC and then share their findings with everyone at WAMUNC through a daily news letter. The Press Corps staff will be headed by an editor with extensive experience in public affairs and will assist delegates in their endeavors. The structure of this committee is significantly different from that of others in that a significant amount of time will be spent observing and reporting the events surrounding the conference and sharing their discoveries instead of engaging in heated debates and resolution writing as other delegates will be doing. For delegates who are considering public affairs or journalism in their higher education or are simply interested in them, this committee is one well worth considering. The Press Corps is through delegate application only. The application can be found on the WAMUNC website on the How to Register page under the Registration tab. Please have your delegate fill out this form and return it to you, the faculty member, and submit it along with this form.
