Your CLEIMUN17 Press Team, Signing Off!
Dear CLEIMUN17 Delegates and the CLEIMUN Community,
It has been a long journey, but today is the final day of CLEIMUN17. First, on behalf of the CLEIMUN17 Press Team, our student leaders, our advisors, and our Board of Control, thank you for attending this year’s conference. It has been a privilege and a honor to serve you throughout these three days. We have been ecstatic to see how well received our work, including our social media posts and The Plain Delegate, has been. Our mission has, and always will be, to make your time at CLEIMUN fun, informative, and unique. We hope that we accomplished this for CLEIMUN17.
As a Press Team, we changed a lot for the CLEIMUN17 Conference. When the Press Team was originally created, we only had the print edition of The Plain Delegate and our Twitter account. From CLEIMUN15 until the start of this year’s conference, the team planned constantly and attempted to figure out new platforms to utilize and create more ways to interact with you, the delegates, advisors, and staff!
For this year, we settled on doing a couple of things. We created press.cleimun.org, which is our online edition of The Plain Delegate. We have been very pleased with how much the website has been accessed, and the popularity of articles that we post on Twitter. We also introduced an Instagram account this year, focusing mainly on utilizing the Instagram Stories platform. From speaking to people who follow our conference, one of their favorite aspects was our Instagram Story posts.
After CLEIMUN15, we were not able to highlight what happened in committee each day because of our small staff. Although this was the case again this year, we were able to introduce a tremendous platform to solve this, and many of you have seen the end product. When a resolution was passed in committee, a news bulletin was released that described the content of a resolution. The link to the bulletin, and the headline, was then posted on Twitter. The tweets were frequently liked and retweeted by you!
Once again, thank you for attending the CLEIMUN17 Conference and we are so appreciative that we as the Press Team had the opportunity to serve you! We hope to see you all, along with others, next year for CLEIMUN18!
MUN is FUN!
Dylan, Grace, and Hannah
