Dear Faculty Advisors and Delegates,
On behalf of Harvard Model Congress, I would like to welcome you to the 2012 San Francisco conference!
My name is Alison DiCiurcio and I am delighted to serve as the president of Harvard Model Congress San Francisco. I am currently a senior studying economics and government, and throughout the past several years have participated in a total of seven HMC conferences as a delegate, Senate chair, or member of the Executive Board.
This year, Harvard Model Congress San Francisco is scheduled to take place January 13th – 16th, 2012 at the Hilton Financial District in downtown San Francisco. I would like to thank those schools that are returning to the conference, as well as send a special welcome to others that are joining us for the first time. I hope that you are as excited as I am about the conference, and I am confident that you will find it to be a truly rewarding experience for students, staffers, and teachers alike.
At the conference, students will have the opportunity to participate in a number of committees that simulate various components of the American government. Whether they serve as Congressmen, Supreme Court justices, or journalists, participants will benefit from the interactive learning experience that Harvard Model Congress provides. Students will have the opportunity to discuss current national issues and craft legislation with delegates from across the country as well as Harvard undergraduates. I am proud to represent a staff of talented Harvard students, who come from a diverse range of backgrounds but are all motivated by their commitment to Harvard Model Congress, civic engagement, and the education of high school students.
I know that you will accomplish great feats at the 2012 conference and wish you all the best in your preparation. If you have any questions or concerns along the way, please feel free to contact HMC at sanfran@harvardmodelcongress.org. I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco this January!
Sincerely,
Alison DiCiurcio
President of San Francisco
