WorldMUN 2009</p>

<p>Harvard World Model United Nations (WorldMUN) is the most diverse college-level Model UN conference and the largest outside of North America. Every year 1,650 college students from over 42 countries attend WorldMUN in a different location around the world; past locations include Beijing, China, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. The conference lasts one week in late March and combines committee sessions during the day with nightly social events. The week provides delegates with an amazing way to experience the host country and to learn with students from around the world.</p>

<p>Vision of WorldMUN <a href=“http://www.worldmun%5B/url%5D”>http://www.worldmun</a>…</p>

<p>07 April, 2009</p>

<p>The Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) team won the “Outstanding Delegation” Award at the Harvard World Model United Nations Conference held from March 22 – 27, 2009 in the Hague, capital of Netherlands. The team comprised of 8 undergraduate students from LUMS sitting in the simulation of various United Nations committees.</p>

<p>The conference was attended by 2200 students from over 150 prestigious universities worldwide including Oxford, London School of Economics, Yale and UC Berkley among others.</p>

<p>Of these, only two delegations were awarded the “Outstanding Delegation” awards on their performance ratio and LUMS, with 6 individual “Outstanding Diplomacy” awards out of 8, was one of them, the other being MUN Society Belgium.</p>

<p>The award marks the fourth continuous victory of the LUMS team at the Harvard WorldMUN Conferences which are organized by Harvard University and held in a different country every year… The LUMS team bagged the coveted “Outstanding Delegation” Awards in Beijing (2006), Geneva (2007) and Puebla, Mexico (2008) in the previous years, bringing Pakistan to the forefront of the largest and most prestigious student gatherings in the world, year after year.</p>

<p>Another LUMS team comprising of 13 students performed exceptionally at the Model UN Turkey Conference held in Izmir, Turkey from March 9 – 13, 2009 and attended by over 500 students from across the world. Ten out of thirteen students won “Outstanding Diplomacy” Awards and thus securing the only “Outstanding Delegation” Award of that conference. It is noteworthy to mention here that the funds for these trips are raised entirely by the students of the LUMS Model UN Society themselves through organizing the prestigious annual All Pakistan Model United Nations Conference at LUMS which is the largest student gathering in South Asia.</p>

<p>WorldMUN Awards Policy WorldMUN is an experience based on diplomacy, compromise, knowledge, learning and friendship. It is a unique opportunity for university students from around the world to meet each other and discuss issues of international scope and importance. And so, in the spirit of discouraging competitiveness and encouraging cooperation, the individuals that best capture the ‘WorldMUN spirit’ in each committee will be given Diplomacy Awards. These will be the only individual awards granted and the guidelines for giving the awards will be the same as in years past.

<p>What can I say.</p>

[phatmomi]

<p>go LUMS</p>

<p>btw, over a week, no, since that accident?</p>

<p>breathaliser takes about 5 seconds, alcohol testing a few hours at best I’d say…</p>

<p>injustice at its best =)</p>

[theGame]

<p>He’s an MNA brother thee know?</p>

[phatmomi]

<p>so I heard =)</p>

<p>his plates were changed within minutes of the accident… I guess justice is for those who can pay</p>

[khan91]

<p>First of all, a clarification. I didnt intend to demean your obviously impressive credentials. I’d heard about you from Flibb and was trying to place you in my mind :)</p>

<p>Secondly, what’s this LUMS story? (the accident one)Got any news links?</p>

[phatmomi]

<p>ahh, Flibb has been known to ramble about random people… and I’ve been known to go off into random indignant tirades…</p>

<p>and it was all over Geo the day it happened. Of course, with load-shedding and terrorist threats all over the place, no one can seem to find time for stuff that doesn’t concern their general vicinity on the news anymore =/</p>

<p>basically all I know is what the students of LUMS (rather, the ones I know) told their friends…hearsay may be a part of it, but two weeks for a bloody blood alcohol test is as good as standing atop minar-e-Pakistan with a megaphone and a blimp going “set-up”… =/</p>

[joiya550]

<p>Which political party MNA may i ask? Plus Geo is more into sensationalism and destabilizing Pakistan and doesn’t concern itself issues which may benefit Pakistanis in any way or form. All they want to do is erect an image or anarchy and chaos inside Pakistan and show the world that it is more dangerous than Iraq or Afghanistan.</p>

[nrmncpr]

<p>^^That pretty much seems to be the only aim of our government as well. It helps to fill the begging bowl we are going around with these days.</p>

[jalal]

<p>…only one of the prado guys alcohol test was +ve though everyone at lums feels the police did what they do best-hid evidence and made good the escape of the other two ‘influential’ bastards…one was son of an army colonel(beats me!),the other son of biryani express owner,and the third guy nephew of Sheikh SOmething (PML Q)…</p>

<p>even the lums student body couldn’t do anything about it!what to think of countless ordinary ppl who dont have the ‘resources’ to get justice!CJ shud have taken suo moto action!</p>

[joiya550]

<p>CJ is more interested in his own political agenda although a CJ should be as far from politics as possible.</p>

[joiya550]

<p>Urgent advice needed!!! So should i accept the offer of admission at two places, both in the US? UCLA sends the I-20 very late and they STILL haven’t ‘received’ my transcript although according to FedEx it has been delivered 2 weeks ago. I’ve even emailed them. So should i accept admission to UT-Austin aswell? I mean someone must’ve done this! Like people who later got admitted from a wait list had probably accepted admission elsewhere! HELP ME OUT !!!</p>

[theGame]

<p>If the time difference b/w a UT-Austin I-20 and a UCLA I-20 is considerable, just do it. Do remember though, that a visa issued on UT-Austin’s I-20 cannot be used to study at UCLA (you know this but worth reminding). And btw, there is going to be a Visa presentation organized by USEF in Lahore pretty soon. Register yourself with USEF to participate in it. Here’s the link: <a href=“http://www.usefpakistan.org/Advising/WebStudent/WebStudent_Data_Enter.cfm[/url]”>http://www.usefpakistan.org/Advising/WebStudent/WebStudent_Data_Enter.cfm&lt;/a&gt;. Just fill out this form, hit submit, and wait for 2-3 working days. An Educational Adviser will get in touch with you.</p>

[joiya550]

<p>My brother gave the same advice…So I’m going for it. I’ll submit to UT like in half an hour. Thanks for the advice :)</p>

[joiya550]

<p>So what if i go to ucla? What do i tell UT Austin :(</p>

[theGame]

<p>By using this approach, you’re effectively nodding UCLA good-bye. Sorry.</p>

[joiya550]

<p>Huh? WHAT?? I can just say I got admitted from a waitlist right? Its not like i’m rejecting UCLA</p>

[joiya550]

<p>I just found this in UCLA Sub Forum </p>

<p>

@MrSpam

This is all a bunch of lies. I sent my SIR to 2 schools last year. They just send you a letter in June saying “Please write a hand-written letter to both schools stating that you will/will not be attending the school”

</p>

[phatmomi]

<p>the decision has been made</p>

<p>despite the yearnings of a heart all Chicago’s… we have accepted Duke</p>

<p><em>shrugs</em></p>

<p>wooohooo, right? =P</p>
