Security Council Simulation at Yale

Dear Delegate,

It is my honor and great pleasure to invite you to the thirty – fifth annual session of the Security Council Simulation at Yale (SCSY). To say that this year's SCSY will provide an incomparable delegate experience is no understatement. This year we will raise the bar in providing a conference that is not only of the highest quality and level of professionalism, but also dedicated to having creative committees, novel topics, and fast-paced, innovative crises.

The result is a Model United Nations Conference unlike any other. SCSY's small and crisis-based committees provide you with a unique environment to collaborate and devise creative solutions, as you immerse yourselves in complex contemporary and historical issues. To top it off, after a long day averting disasters and working through conflicts, you will be able to relax and enjoy getting to know one another at SCSY's acclaimed late night events, which will be better this year than ever before.

On behalf of the SCSY XXXV Secretariat and staff, I hope you will join us on Yale's gorgeous campus this fall from October 4th – 7th. We look forward to seeing you at the most incredible SCSY yet!

Sincerely,

Shweta Johri

Secretary-General

Why SCSY?

Uniquely SCSY

For the past 35 years, the Security Council Simulation at Yale has been the premiere crisisbased Model United Nations conference on the college circuit. SCSY combines innovative crisis committees, the extensive resources offered through our location on Yale’s campus, and unparalleled social events. In the course of four days, you will engage in fascinating debate, meet students from more than thirty national and international universities, and unwind at our lounge and club nights. We hope to be welcoming you to SCSY in just a few months!

Dynamic Committees

Historic, Traditional, Innovative, Fictional - the broad range of committees offered at SCSY make us one of the most diverse conferences on the circuit. Whether you are discussing the implications of the BP Oil Spill in “The Deepwater Horizon Crisis”, rewriting history in “The Peloponnesian War - Joint Crisis Committee”, or debating Egypt’s future in “Egypt 2011: Revolutionary Reform”, you will be immersed in exhilarating simulations of historical and current international conditions. Reaching far beyond the traditional bounds of Model UN, we draw upon the most passionate and talented members of Yale’s undergraduate community to offer committees in their respective fields of expertise.

Interactive Crises

The interactive crisis committee experience forms the heart of SCSY. Unlike committees at other college conferences, every single one of our committees is based on the crisis model in which delegates must respond to unforeseen fictional events. Articles, twitter blasts, breaking news videos, real life visitors will be some of the many ways in which we introduce you to the complex problems you will be solving. Our dedicated crisis staff works around the clock to respond to the decisions made by the delegates using creative multimedia capabilities. The fast-paced nature of our committees will push you to the limits of cooperation, adaptability and creativity.

Social Events

After spending your day diffusing diplomatic dilemmas or rebuilding a post-apocalyptic society, celebrate a job well done at SCSY’s famed social events. Relax, unwind and enjoy two nights of private social events! Join us for Lounge night to socialize and meet your fellow delegates in a chill, laid-back atmosphere. The next day, dance the night away with your fellow delegates at a nightclub rented out exclusively for the conference.
