Specialized Committees
A stylistic hybrid of General Assembly and Crisis committees, Specialized committees are a moderately paced form of debate in Model U.N., covering a wide array of topics from the modern to the historical. Some Specialized committees reenact historical events and may have integrated crises. Others are more General Assembly-esque with a twist, such as our Security Council. Larger than a Crisis but smaller than a General Assembly, Specialized committees are sure to give any delegate a thought-provoking and engaging challenge with something for everyone!
