Dear ISB Parents and Students,
As you may or may not be aware, ISB will be hosting the 2015 IASAS Model United Nations November 11-15, 2015. Out of the 250 students from 15 schools around the region participating in the conference this year we will need hosts for approximately 150 of them! Think of it as an opportunity to give to students at other schools who may host students from ISB in the future. Or, think of it as an opportunity to give back if your family has already benefited from similar arrangements at other schools.
Please Note: All MUN members (both IASAS and non-IASAS), and IASAS CC delegates, past and present, are required to submit the housing form linked below. Students/families unable to fulfill this requirement must find another host and notify the Khun Kwang (louisas@isb.ac.th) in the Arts and Activities Office immediately with their contact information.
IASAS tournaments and conferences like MUN depend upon the good will and generosity of people like you to host visiting students from other schools. This reciprocal agreement shared throughout the region adds immense value to our programs, and provides a unique opportunity to develop new friendships, share in culture, and strengthen our connections across international communities. Honestly, it’s one of the things that makes IASAS events so special.
So, show off your new guest room. Share your favorite dessert. Get to know students from other schools. In short, be a part of this rich IASAS hosting tradition by registering here
