Hello Delegates, Advisors, and Staff, and welcome to the home of The Working Paper! My name is Story Triplett, and I will be serving as the Editor-in-Chief for the International Press Corps for MUNUM XXXVI. I’m originally from Rockford, Illinois, but I moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan when I was 15 and have been there when I’m not on campus. I’ve been involved in Model UN for about five years, and this is my second year on MUNUM staff. Alongside being a director for IPC, I’m representing MUNUM on Secretariat– a panel of students who help set up the conference and work with the University to provide committee rooms, hotel bookings, bus schedules, and lots more. I’m the Secretary of Publicity, which means I’m in charge of posting announcements about the conference to our social media accounts. I encourage all delegates to check out our Instagram page, @munum1987: we frequently post about the conference, our staff, and how we’re working to benefit the community around us.

I’m very happy to announce that our International Press Corps committee is back after a long hiatus! IPC delegates will be working hard during conference to produce articles for this blog, The Working Paper, MUNUM’s editorial paper covering all conference happenings. This page is where all of the IPC delegates’ journalism will be posted as they explore the University of Michigan’s campus, sit in on committees, and report on all things MUNUM for our conference.

Stay tuned for articles produced by our delegates, posted here throughout conference. I’m looking forward to meeting you all! Go Blue!
