ESIMS

Dear CIRCA,

STAFF ESIMS: http://esims-columbia.org/staff/

We have over 200 students coming to learn and perform at their best in the soon-to-be largest free-of-charge conference in the New York City area! However, we are severely under-staffed! The conference runs this Saturday, November 15th, 9am-5:30pm, with an extremely exclusive after-party on the first week of December! You can basically choose the committee you will be staffing. It's a great learning opportunity for early CIRCAdians to get Chair and Crisis Director experience, getting ready to rock your next CMUNCE and CMUNNY leadership! You will know everything by attending our Staff Briefing on Friday, November 14th, at 7pm, location to be specified in staff-only e-mail.

STAFF, STAFF, STAFF! ALACRITOUS AND DEDICATED HIGH SCHOOLS KIDS EAGER TO IDOLIZE YOU!

Your ESims Team

CIRCA Presents the Awards Symposium 11/23
Are you interested in getting an internship or a research position next summer? Worried about finances? CIRCA can help!

Last year, CIRCA initiated the CIRCA Award, a grant for CIRCA members which seeks to alleviate the financial burden on CIRCA members undertaking low-paying or unpaid internships, especially those that have an impact on the international community. On November 23^rd, CIRCA is hosting an Award Symposium where last year’s awardees will talk about their summer work experience, we will disclose important information regarding this year’s academic award, and provide all those attending an opportunity to meet with other CIRCA members and alumni who share their career interests.

Come join us over lunch, hear about the unique experiences of last year’s awardees and take advantage of the opportunity to learn how to become one!

Join CIRCA's Relay for Life Team!

CIRCA will be participating in Relay for Life for the first time this year! Relay for Life is a community fundraising walk to help the American Cancer Society in the world’s largest movement to end cancer. In addition to the team walk, there are many games, ceremonies, and activities at the event, making for a great day of fundraising and community events!. 4 million people participate in Relay for life each year, and Columbia is hosting its own Relay for Life Fundraiser Columbia on 11th April 2015!

This is a great opportunity for CIRCA to have fun, bond, and give back! Join the CIRCA Relay for Life Team here. Or email Zunaira with questions!

Hello CMUNCE Staff and members of CIRCA,

Thanks again to all of the proposers and new staff who came to our Info Session! If you happened to miss it do not hesitate to fill out the staff form to get assigned ASAP. Meet those travel team requirements!

Attention committee proposers midnight crisis applications are available here!
Applications are due Monday, November 17th. Midnight crisis is a very exciting and unique part of CMUNCE in which 4 committees run additional sessions from about 1am to 3am the Saturdaymorning of the conference. Delegates LOVE this - we wake them up, cause a commotion, and each of the 4 committees will receive a complementary room at the Marriott Marquis. Live the good life.

Also, for those of you who staffed CMUNNY committees that are also running at CMUNCE don't forget to make make it clear in the staff form if you want to sign up for the same committee! The committees which are running again are:

Detroit City Council 2014
Moetzet HaAm: The People’s Council, 1948
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), 2015
The Signoria of Florence. 1378
Korea: The Kingdom of Gold, 550 BCE

Hey Circadians,

We would like to, first and foremost, thank the UPMUNC team for killing it last weekend: Laura Fritsch, Jose Carlos Martinez, Albert Park, Nika Sheynberg, John Mellow, Jay Robinson, Kalpana Mohanty, Tanveer Singh, Scott Butler, Dana Scott, Camilo Rivera, Susanna de Martino, Camila Puig, Alastair Pearson, Giovanni Pagan and Lukas Holste.

We could also like to extend a special congratulation to:
Laura Fritsch and Jose Carlos Martinez - Best Delegate (and best partners in crime!)
Tanveer Singh – Outstanding Delegate
Albert Park – Honorable Mention
Alastair Pearson – Honorable Mention
Camilo Rivera – Verbal Commendation

The team had an amazing time this past weekend and we are beyond excited about traveling with all of you this coming semester.

Instead of holding regular practice, this Saturday we are giving everyone the option to choose one of the ESIMS shifts (morning, afternoon or both) to staff. This is an amazing opportunity to get involved in CIRCA so please reach out to Adriano Fernandes to set up the time slot that works best for you.

Warm hugs (because its already getting uncomfortably cold),

Laura Fritsch and Frank Pellegrino
