SMART Solutions

 Hi delegates!


BMUN is just around the corner (in just 2 days!), so I wanted to revisit the pinnacle document of committee: your directives!


When writing your directives, no matter what type, it is important to keep the SMART goals in mind:

  • S - Specific, what exactly is this directive trying to achieve?

  • M - Measurable, how will you know when this directive is successful? Are there any specific points that will make this solution more quantifiable?

  • A - Attainable, is this solution genuinely possible and does it pertain to your portfolio powers? Is that clear in your directive?

  • R - Relevant, will this directive positively contribute to solving this problem or furthering your character development?

  • T - Timely, when do you expect to achieve this solution? Are these time constraints reasonable?

When in doubt, refer back to the SMART goals, especially because we are a no-tech committee! They will really help ensure that your directives are acted upon and result in positive movement forward for the committee as a whole.


Again, the directive process is such an important element of our conference, and we are here to answer any questions you may have along the way! Again, feel free to email us or pop into our office hours that are being held this week!


Best,

Joanna Bai

MYANMAR, BMUN 72

VC Introduction: Tanirika

 Hello! My name is Tanirika Singh and I am so excited to be on the dais of the Myanmar committee this year!  I'm currently a senior majoring Molecular & Cellular Biology with a concentration in Neurobiology. Despite having spent 7 years now being involved in MUN, every year brings its own excitement and I'm really excited to meet you all very soon! Beyond BMUN, I'm a researcher in the School of Optometry on campus and also spend time volunteering at the local hospital with patients. In my down time, I love spending time with my friends exploring new places to eat in the Bay, history museums to visit, and hikes to bookmark, and following F1 racing.   I can't wait to meet you all very soon! Having once been a delegate here at BMUN and now chairing, this conference is a full-circle moment for me. I genuinely look forward to hearing all of your ideas and hope to make this committee a memorable experience for you all! In the meantime, most definitely do not hesitate t...

Speech Content & Public Speaking Tips!

 Hi Delegates! As BMUN is just around the corner, I wanted to provide you all with some tips on how to deliver great speeches during conference weekend and beyond!  When it comes to the content of your speeches, here's a few suggestions we hope will be helpful:  Find a balance between too vague versus too specific in your speeches. Many times delegates run into the problem of the former where they will present ideas that are not really contributing much substance to the discussion at hand because of how general they are. So include details in your speeches so they are a bit more grounded and reflect the effort you've put into coming up with the ideas within your speech. However, at the same time you want to make sure you're not too specific to the point where no one is able to follow the content of your speech.  It is always a great idea if you can, to refer to other delegates/their ideas to show you're an active listener and able to reflect (whether in agreement or ...
