ABOUT THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL, 2024
This is an advanced committee, and awards from this committee will be weighted.
The United States National Security Council is an advanced open-topic crisis committee, where delegates will embody key figures in the U.S. executive branch as they come together to debate contemporary issues and crises. Delegates will construct directives and advance goals that secure the United States’ position as the world’s leading liberal democracy, amid the backdrop of global conflict and domestic polarization. With significant power at their disposal, and the world watching them, what will the NSC do to change the country, and the globe, as we know it?
Content Warning & Expectations
This will be an advanced committee discussing very sensitive issues relating to American and global politics, including but not limited to discussions of war, violence (including war crimes and ethnic conflict), terrorism, discrimination, and colonialism. Given the modern framing of this committee, many of these topics could be upsetting, and delegates going into the committee should be prepared to discuss them respectfully. We appreciate your cooperation in fostering respectful and productive debate.

As a Vermonter, Kaitlynn is once again asking where are all the cows?? Though Kaitlynn isn’t farming and harvesting in Boston, she is pursuing a major in International Relations with a minor in Chinese. Having been head delegate of her high school Model UN team and a student editor for VTDigger, her various interests in local and global government have weaved themselves together. Currently, Kaitlynn is an active member of the MUN@BU travel team and served as a chair for the JCC Taiping Rebellion committee at BosMUN, BU’s high school conference. Over the summer, Kaitlynn made her first professional acting debut in What the Constitution Means to Me at the Weston Playhouse and continued to coach students in Model UN. In her free time, she enjoys tinkering with her instruments, playing video games and Ultimate Frisbee. Kaitlynn is absolutely delighted to serve as your Under-Secretary-General for BarMUN XVII!!
