IDIA presents

ConnectMUN 2020

Welcome to ConnectMUN!

ConnectMUN 2020 will take place on December 5th and 6th entirely online.

ConnectMUN is IDIA’s newest Model United Nations conference. Designed to provide students the opportunity to continue their MUN experience even as the global pandemic limits large in-person events, ConnectMUN will take place entirely online and through IDIA’s virtual conference portal. 

Just like RUMUN and our other flagship programs, ConnectMUN will provide the same in-depth topic briefs, well-trained staff, and small committee sizes. IDIA has partnered with Classrooms.Cloud to create a fully-featured event portal where students will be able to connect with their chairs and fellow delegates through video, while still taking advantage of timed speaking sessions, digital note passing, and more. Like all IDIA events, ConnectMUN will be staffed by Rutgers undergraduate students, and will feature the same in-depth topic briefs that delegates have come to expect.
