Please wait at least 7 days after paying all fees to receive your committee assignments. Only contact the Faculty Liaison if it has been more than 7 days.
ASEAN will be a double delegate committee, which means that two delegates from the same school will be representing the same country. Delegates will be evaluated as a partnership.
Senate Foreign Relations will be a novice committee, which is a committee for those who are beginners to Harvard Model Congress. This therefore offers a space for beginner delegates to discuss and debate with other beginner delegates. There will be additional attention to giving delegates instructions before committee starts and guidance throughout the conference.
