Letter from the Secretary-General

Delegates, Sponsors, Faculty, and Friends of WMHSMUN,

On behalf of the WMHSMUN XL Secretariat, it is my honor to invite you to the historic 40th Session of the William & Mary High School Model United Nations Conference.

For the past forty years, WMHSMUN has been a cornerstone of diplomacy and action in the William & Mary community. Beginning in 1987, WMHSMUN has welcomed thousands of delegates to discuss global issues and foster growth, communication, and confidence in the next generation of world leaders. Through our values of diplomacy, substance and empowerment, we hope to provide delegates with an experience that will last far beyond our three days together on William & Mary’s beautiful campus.

This year we are excited to celebrate WMHSMUN’s extraordinary legacy and push the envelope with a slate of fun yet challenging committees. Outside of the committee room, we hope that you enjoy our social events and campus while exploring the historic Williamsburg area during this momentous semiquincentennial commemoration of our nation’s founding. It is my sincere hope that every delegate, sponsor, and volunteer staffer leaves WMHSMUN having learned more about the world around them and their role in shaping its future.

As the countdown to WMHSMUN XL begins, I am beyond excited to unveil the hard work that this Secretariat has accomplished to make the fortieth session of William & Mary High School Model United Nations Conference a reality.

We cannot wait to see you at WMHSMUN this fall!

Best Wishes ,

Laila Hall

Secretary-General, WMHSMUN XL

Service

Every year, the International Relations Club at William & Mary supports different international non-governmental organizations, advocacy groups, or philanthropy. In efforts recognized by Best Delegate’s “Best College Model UN Organizations, Leaders, Projects, and Administration 2021-22”, we focus not only on monetary contributions itself, but also on raising awareness and highlighting overlooked international social problems.

More information on our 2026-2027 service initiative will be published in the fall.

Land Acknowledgment:

WMHSMUN would like to emphasize the ownership of the land on which our campus operates. William & Mary acknowledges the Indigenous peoples who are the original inhabitants of the lands our campus is on today – the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway), Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Mattaponi, Monacan, Nansemond, Nottoway, Pamunkey, Patawomeck, Upper Mattaponi, and Rappahannock tribes – and pay our respect to their tribal members past and present.
