Weekly update – Jan 23, 2011
Dear IRSAMers,
It’s finally here. Heralded by the severe sub-zero temperatures, McMUN 2011 will be taking place this weekend, a culmination of months of hard work put in by the conference’s secretariat. This means that this Tuesday we will have McStuffing (18:30, Clubs’ Lounge, 4th floor SSMU), where all staffers, chairs, etc. are asked to participate and obtain valuable pre-conference information. For more IRSAM (and a pot of gold at the end!), keep reading…

1.1 McStuffing
As every year, this Tuesday meeting will comprise McStuffing for the upcoming conference! Attendance is mandatory for all those involved with the conference, so please show up at 18:30 in the Clubs’ Lounge (4th floor, SSMU).
2.1 McGill Model United Nations Delegation
IRSAM, in addition to putting on several great conferences throughout the year here at McGill, attends other university conferences as a part of our traveling Model United Nations Delegation. This semester, our delegation will be going to Harvard University’s HNMUN, and potentially West Point Military Academy’s WPSC. The dates and costs for these trips can be found on the attached application. To apply, fill out the winter trips form and send it to delegations@irsam.ca by January 25th, 2010. If you have any questions, please contact Robert Townley, our VP Delegations at delegations@irsam.ca.
N.B.: A delegation WILL NOT be sent to Princeton University’s PICSIM due to a number of reasons, which will become available to the IRSAM membership with the distribution of this week’s minutes. For more questions on this particular issue, please direct your correspondence to president@irsam.ca.
3.1 IRSAM Journal Submissions
The new IRSAM journal invites submissions for its 2010-2011 issue. Papers should concern a topic in International Relations, written in any course at McGill, have received a high mark, and be between 5 and 25 pages. The author’s name should not appear anywhere on the submission. Please be sure to note the title of the course and the professor’s name. A maximum number of two submissions per author will be accepted. The deadline for submissions is FRIDAY, JANUARY 28th, 2010. Please send your submissions to journal@irsam.ca.
