Positions and Position Papers

November 6, 2025

We kept getting ready for Tustin MUN this week. For a lot of you it's your first conference, so we went over the basics.

Permission slips and what to wear

We handed out permission slips. We also went over Western Business Attire, the dress code at conferences. That means formal business clothes, like a suit and tie, a blazer with dress pants or a skirt, or a professional dress.

Your positions

Everyone got their country, topic, and committee, which was exciting!

Position papers

A lot of people were confused about position papers, so we went over:

What a position paper is
How to research your topic
What your position paper should cover

There's a quick guide in the Writing a position paper section of the home page.

We spent the rest of class working on ideas, and I went around answering questions about topics and how to write things.
