MSU IRO

Although we did not have a meeting this week due to our attendance at ChoMUN, there are still a few important updates!

Firstly, MSUIRO brought home some awards from the Conference! Go Team!  If you see them around, feel free to congratulate all of our members who returned from Chicago with an award:

Claire Gaut – Best Delegate (France, NATO)

Cody Schulz – Best Delegate (France, NATO)

Sam Herzing – Outstanding Delegate (Director of Radio, 1960s BBDO Advertising Committee

Nick DeRyke – Honorable (France, UNSC)

Peter Sattler – Honorable (France, UNSC)

Kelsey Weyhing – Verbal Commendation (William O’Brien, Ministry of the First Dail)

Christopher Bourdganis – Verbal Commendation (Juan de Cartageña, Voyage of Ferdinand Magellan)

Next, I want to remind everyone of our GAME NIGHT this Thursday, April 25th!  We will be hanging out in 340 Case Hall from 6:30-11:30pm.  You are more than welcome to bring any games you would like to play, and I hope to see you there!

Lastly, it is with a heavy heart that say there is only one IRO meeting remaining this year.  It will be taking place at 9pm on Monday, April 29th, in 339 Case.  The first few minutes will be spent going over ChoMUN as well as Mock Awards (lolz) and the Conference slideshow.  After that, we will be watching a movie!  With it being the start of finals week, we figured everyone could use some time to de-stress.

That’s all for now!  Enjoy the rest of your week, and happy studying!

Hello, Loyal MUN-ers! 

Here ‘s a recap of what happened at this week’s meeting!

We first heard from Kelsey, who reminded us about the Game Night next Thursday, April 25th!  It will be from 6:30-11:30pm in Case Hall, and there might be snacks (noms).  Please email the MSUIRO account if you have any games you would like to bring.  She also told us about the Movie Night we will be having in lieu of the meeting on April 29th.  We will, however, be presenting the ChoMUN slideshow and Mock Awards before the movie starts, so feel free to stop by if you would like a few laughs! Lastly, Kelsey announced that she has chosen her second AVP, Hannah Poole! Congrats!

MSUMUN’s Chief of Staff, Kory Miller, shared their progress thus far.  Secretariat is diligently preparing for outreach and several other elements of next year’s conference.  

Neil DeSouza then stood up and encouraged members who will be living in Case Hall next year to join the Hall Government.  It is a great opportunity to get involved, and you should definitely look into it!

Peter then shared a ConPrep Activity, as well as the Crisis of the Day!  You can get the specifics here: ConPrep 4-15

Next, we had some very important reminders about ChoMUN!  We need everyone to be at North Case Hall at 10:30am! Please, try to pack as light as possible!  Just a heads up, we will be returning late Sunday night.

Lastly, the meeting next Monday (that’s April 22nd) is CANCELLED!

Thanks, and we hope to see you at Game Night! 

Here’s what you missed at this week’s meeting!

We went over a few things regarding ChoMUN, the first being that the second and final payment ($75) was due tonight.  For those of you attending this conference, our “Idinnerary” will be at Chris’ house this Friday at 8pm.  We’ll be having tacos, salsa, and QUESO. Nom Nom Nom.  If you would like to have walking tacos, feel free to bring a bag of Frito’s.

As mentioned at last week’s meeting, we will be having a mini-simulation this coming weekend.  There were some initial scheduling conflicts, but the final date and time is Sunday, April 14th, from 3pm-6pm.  We’ll send out an email later this week with the room number, as well as placements.

Don’t forget, the Conference is April 18th-21st! Only 10 days away!!  Look in your email for the letter excusing you from class sometime later this week.

Kelsey reminded everyone of our IRO game night next Thursday, April 25th, from 6:30-11:00 in Case!  Feel free to email the IRO account if you have any games to bring!

Next, we had a presentation of a potential new mobile app by member Kory Miller.  Pretty snazzy!

Peter’s AVP, Matt Pitlock,  then presented a riveting conference preparation activity.  Check it out here: Speaking in a Crisis

Just as a reminder, the feedback form has been posted! We have already received several completed forms, but the more the better!  They are crucial to helping the E-Board make IRO a better organization for you.  You don’t even have to put your name on it, nor do you have to answer every question if you do not want to.  Here’s the link: Second Semester Feedback Form!

Lastly, we registered for our first two conferences today!  We will be taking 18 delegates to BarMUN, and at least 30 to UPMUNC! Wahoo!

That was everything covered at this meeting.  Hope to see you next week!
