Position Papers
This year’s Carolina’s Conference will be accepting optional position papers. We understand that some groups come in as classes, clubs, or other types of extracurriculars and use position papers as a learning experience or graded material. With this in mind, any student or group that wants to submit position papers for staff to grade may choose to do so. Please note that submitting a position paper will NOT increase your chances of winning an award. We know and understand that some enjoy writing position papers while others do not, and we are passionate about bringing you a tailored Model UN conference experience for everyone to enjoy.
A position paper is a brief paper, no more than one page, that outlines your delegation's position on the committee's assigned topics. Position papers are an opportunity for you to do your research and organize your thoughts prior to the conference.
