Welcome to PUNC 2011, we are a fast growing, engaging, crisis only, simulation hosted on the beautiful campus of Penn State University.

Dear delegates and faculty advisors,

It is my distinct pleasure to invite you to the fourth annual Pennsylvania United Nations Conference- PUNC 2011. On behalf of Penn State’s International Affairs and Debate Association, I would like to renew our promise of offering all delegates a professional, original and above all enjoyable conference. Packed with four days of engaging crisis simulations and delegate events, PUNC 2011 is guaranteed to earn a special place in the hearts of all those who attend.

This year we are looking to present more schools with the opportunity of participating at PUNC. By increasing the number of committees whilst keeping sight of what makes us so very popular with past delegations, PUNC's 2011 installment promises to be the most memorable to date. The conference will be comprised entirely of small-size crisis committees, designed not only to stimulate exciting debate, but also challenge and surprise our delegates. Ranging from present day national Security Council’s to historical war cabinets, and from United Nations Emergency Sessions to future European committees, PUNC offers something of interest for all.

The conference will take place from February 24th to 27th, 2011 at the Nittany Lion Inn, a spacious and elegant hotel conveniently located on the Penn State Campus; just minutes walk from the town center. The Smeal College Business Building, which offers modern and personable debating rooms, has also been reserved for the conference’s committee sessions.

If you have any questions regarding PUNC, please feel free to contact myself or any member of the PUNC Secretariat. On behalf of the Pennsylvania State International Affairs and Debate Association, I thank you for considering PUNC 2011 and look forward to seeing you in February.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,
Rodrigo Buanafina
Secretary General | PUNC 2011
