Dear Prospective Operations and PR Staff, 

Thank you for your interest in the 2007 Secondary Schools’ United Nations Symposium! By expressing interest you have taken the first step to becoming a part of the most interesting student activities at McGill. SSUNS is a three-day-long simulation of the most important and relevant international organizations, attended by over 1000 high school and CEGEP students from the western hemisphere, and organized entirely by McGill students.  

By getting involved as Operations or Public Relations staff, you will be organizing and carrying out exciting events for delegates designed to enrich their experience from the conference and city. Your involvement ranges from experiences in the hotel such as our gala night to those outside of the hotel such as our elegant dinner excursion to Old Port. As Ops and PR staff you will have ample opportunity to contribute according to the time commitment you are able to make. This is an excellent opportunity to work with dynamic and motivated individuals and have a great time while doing it. 

If you are willing to take the plunge: apply now. Take a gander at our described positions, fill out the form, submit it online by October 1st and look forward to being involved in a fantastic conference!  

We look forward to working with you,
