41st MOAS for High Schools 2022 - November (TBD)

Due to the uncertainty posed by the pandemic, we cannot ensure if OAS buildings will be open in November. We hope that the 41th Model OAS General Assembly for High Schools (41st MOAS/HS) will be held in- person. However, this cannot be guaranteed at this point. We recommend that no travel is booked until the format of the Model is confirmed (in-person or virtual). We will notify professors and students.

If you are interested in joining this MOAS, you need to REGISTER, PREPARE and PARTICIPATE.
