Dear Advisors and Delegates,
It is with great pleasure that Model United Nations at UC Davis
invites you to our 13th annual Davis Model United Nations
Conference. DMUNC will be held on May 16th – 17th, 2015 at the

The Conference Secretariat, Staff and I are committed to providing
delegates with a constructive, thought-provoking, and overall
worthwhile conference.

coordinate an enjoyable conference for delegates of all levels
Regardless of experience, delegates have always been eager and
enthusiastic students who are prepared to use their skills in diplomacy
and debate to simulate U.N. committees and pass resolutions.
Thank you for expressing interest in our conference and what we
