Delegate FAQ
Conference FAQs
Below are a list of frequently asked questions or concerns, but if your question is not answered here, don't hesitate to contact us (mclary@auburn.edu) with your questions.
What are the dress expectations for the conference?
The dress code for AMUNI is 'Western Business' attire. This means a suit, jacket and slacks/skirt, etc. Items to avoid include t-shirts, shorts, jeans, hats, or clothing that wouldn't be appropriate in a formal setting.
Note: Delegates should not wear clothing from their assigned member-state unless it is part of the individual's usual attire. Culturally insensitive clothing is not acceptable at AMUNI.
Should I bring anything with me to the conference?
Delegates should ideally bring a laptop or tablet with them to the conference to assist with the production of resolutions and/or research; although delegates will not be disadvantaged should they not have a laptop.
Delegates should also plan to bring paper and writing utensil to send notes to other delegates or to take notes.
Finally, delegates should bring food or money/card for lunch (as lunch is not provided by the conference).
Is there Wifi available at the conference?
YES! You should connect to the AU_Guest SSID/network and follow the instructions once connected.
Where can I find information about my member-state or a specific issue/topic?
Most member-states have official websites for the missions to the United Nations that discuss existing policy and votes at the UN. Additionally, most member-states maintain robust foreign ministry websites and repositories for government documents. Of course, you may also need to search for analysis about your countries position and/or on the topic itself by searching other quality sources (i.e. think tanks, news sources). It is important to remember that Model UN doesn't expect you to role play exactly as your member-state, rather to do the best you can to approximate what your member-state's positions that are based on some degree of research/preparation.
Can I leave my personal items in the room during breaks and lunch?
While technically you can leave your materials behind, AMUNI nor Auburn Model United Nations are responsible for monitoring your items, so to be safe, take your items with you!
Are there vending machines or other food offerings in the Mell Classroom Building?
Yes! There are multiple locations of vending machines with food/drinks as well as a Panera Bread inside the building.
