General Information
Committee Sessions
WYOMUN has featured a host of committees including the World Health Organization, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the League of Nations. In these committees, delegates represent United Nations member states, debate solutions to international issues, and develop resolutions that address these issues. WYOMUN has also featured non-UN crisis committees on a variety of topics such as the Vietnam War, the Chicano Movement, the Arab Spring and the Seven Years' War, and has occasionally ventured into pop culture with a committee on Stranger Things from Netflix, as well as one on the Harry Potter series.
