Currently in its thirty-fourth session, the Security Council Simulation at Yale (SCSY) is one of the most prestigious and popular conferences on the collegiate Model UN circuit, drawing 400 delegates every October to Yale’s historic campus for a four-day, vibrant simulation of international diplomacy. The conference seeks to create an engaging and stimulating environment in which delegates can discuss and debate contemporary and historical issues affecting the globe. Unique to SCSY are several distinctive features which make it a conference unlike any other on the Model UN circuit: small committees, each with fewer than 30 delegates, providing delegates with a unique opportunity to contribute to and shape debate; intense, real-time crises which heavily drive committees, and which challenge delegates to think on their feet and adapt to rapidly changing situations; and creative committees with original topic areas, which in the past have included Paradise Lost: Angels vs. Demons, MI6, and Fateh-Hamas Peace Negotiations. In addition, SCSY places strong emphasis on the delegate social experience, with themed Lounge and Club nights taking place during the conference. The conference will be held on October 13th-16th, 2011.
