CMUNCE provides delegates with EXciting opportunities
to take full advantage of their time in New York.

Mission Visits, Seminars, and a Delegate Dance throughout the weekend are just some examples of how
CMUNCE enriches the delegate experience and brings participants beyond the committee room.

Mission Visits

Mission Visits are one of the highlights of the CMUNCE experience and we are excited that they will be in person at the offices of Permanent Missions to the United Nations in New York City! During these visits, students will have the opportunity to connect with professionals working in diplomatic missions located in New York City and ask thought-provoking questions regarding their work, their missions, and how the diplomatic world is adjusting throughout the pandemic.

In the past, CMUNCE has offered visits to the following diplomatic organizations:

• Permanent Mission of Afghanistan to the United Nations

• Permanent Mission of Burkina Faso to the United Nations

• Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations

• Permanent Mission of Turkey to the United Nations

• Office of the Permanent Observer for the International Organization of la Francophonie to the United Nations

• Permanent Mission of the United States to the United Nations

• Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations

• Permanent Observer Mission of the Inter-Parliamentary Union to the United Nations

• Office of the Special Representative for the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to the United Nations

• Office of the International Atomic Energy Agency at the United Nations

We are excited to have more spaces for interested delegates than ever before, and hope to see as many delegates as possible take advantage of this opportunity to experience the real world of international relations and diplomacy.
