Dear Delegates, Staffers, Partners, and Friends,

On behalf of our Secretariat, it is with immense pleasure that we welcome you to the National Collegiate Security Conference, hosted by the Georgetown International Relations Association in the heart of our nation’s capital—Washington, DC. 

For 54 years, NCSC has set the standard for excellence in collegiate Model UN.  From our 30 modern, realistic, and security-focused committees to our location only minutes from globally-renowned monuments, NCSC LIV offers more than just a conference—it promises a world class experience. Here, over 1,000 staffers and delegates from around the world convene where diplomacy and global leadership are not merely simulated but fundamental to daily life. Designed by a 17-person Secretariat who live and breathe collegiate Model UN and staffed by students at the #1 international affairs program in the world, it is no wonder that NCSC has remained uncontested as the #1 fall semester conference in the world for five consecutive years.

Yet this year, NCSC LIV is once again making history, introducing more firsts than ever before. With a proud commitment to defining—rather than following—circuit trends, NCSC is proud to boast our most innovative committees thus far, including three Ad Hoc style assemblies, alongside our flagship UNSC and an inaugural double crisis. We are also excited to bring back a bilingual committee, foster inclusivity with a committee specifically for women and gender non-conforming delegates, and bring the capital to life through the NSC and US Congress. Finally, to create the most innovative delegate experience possible, NCSC LIV has undergone a comprehensive restructuring of its organs, including the launch of our newest Specialized organ. 

Beyond the Washington Hilton walls, NCSC is excited to offer one-of-a-kind programming opportunities, including world-class committee speakers, capital tours, and monumenting opportunities. Whether it is professionally networking at our career fair or partying at our new monumenting crawl or club night, NCSC guarantees an experience for every delegate from around the globe. Yet none of this would be possible without the passion and effort from every delegate, staffer, sponsor, and partner—you make NCSC what it is.

Welcome to NCSC LIV!

Sincerely,

Sanjay Rajesh & Maria Razborova
