External Conferences

April 4th - 7th, 2013

BentleyMUN sent out 13 delegates to Los Angeles to attend this year's UCLAMUN.  The conference was hosted in downtown Los Angeles, right in the center of the action! Committee sessions featured many different stimulating crises, from World War II to Puerto Rican Statehood.

Outside of committee, delegates bonded over trips to the Staples Center, Universal Studios, and the Santa Monica Pier.  And of course, who can forget the time we almost accidently got on the prop bus during a shooting of TV's The Mentalist thinking it was the bus to the beach?
