Dear Advisors, Delegates, and members of the BUSUN community,

On behalf of the Brown University Simulation of the United Nations, we are pleased to welcome you to the 27th annual session of the conference, which will be held on the Brown University campus from November 10-12, 2023. While BUSUN continues to evolve each year, we are excited to continue some of the traditions that we believe make our conference special. We have both been working with BUSUN since its transition to an online conference and back to an in-person conference and can’t wait to take everything we have learned over the past two years to bring delegates and advisors an even more valuable and exciting experience. Delegations continue to return to the conference because of our engaging committees and wonderful chairs and staff even as we had to move to an online format. As a Secretariat and staff, we value diplomacy and collaboration and will work to bring this spirit into the committee rooms this year.

We are excited to announce this year’s conference theme: Redefining Justice. Our conference theme reflects our belief in delegates’ abilities to take on some of the world’s most pressing challenges, rewrite history, and build a better future with bold, innovative ideas that rival and surpass those of international policy makers. As inequalities persist around the world and here at home in the United States, we must question our current definition of justice and whether it achieves its goal of creating an equitable, fair society globally. By examining current and historical issues, we hope delegates will walk away from BUSUN with a greater commitment to embody these principles in their own lives and take action in their communities in pursuit of a redefined justice.

Now in its 27th year, BUSUN has become well known in the North American Model UN circuit for providing intimate committees, a focus on collaboration, and an enriching learning experience for delegates with the backdrop of Brown’s campus on College Hill in Providence.

On behalf of the BUSUN Secretariat and our entire staff, we are looking forward to seeing you all this November. Please contact our Director of External Affairs, Dre Boyd-Weatherly, at info@busun.org with any questions or concerns, and be on the lookout for communications regarding the application and registration process. We look forward to welcoming you to BUSUN XXVII!

Sincerely,

Zoey Fisher and Ronnie Shashoua

Secretaries-General, BUSUN XXVII
