Model United Nations University of Michigan (MUNUM 39) Conference When- Friday January 16, 2025 as an entire delegation we will eat lunch at the South Quad Dining Hall. To take care of expenses for this "team luncheon" to save you both time need for a tip for one meal, we are going to enjoy a "team meal" on our first day at the conference. $20 will take care of the whole lunch and will be cafeteria style, All-You-Care-To-Eat fashion. Mr. Dudash has worked with the South Quad Dining Services to have us have a reserved space for our group of around 15 student delegates and advisor to sit together. This will be our "big" team event for the weekend. Often students pack lunch or go to eat with delegates from our school or from other schools. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Dudash at: dudashj@dexterschools.org
