What is MUN?

Model United Nations (MUN) is an extra-curricular activity in which students roleplay delegates to the United Nations, simulate UN committees, and learn about diplomacy, international relations, current world issues, and the UN itself. Many of today’s leaders in law, government, business, humanities and the arts participated in such simulations as students. Over the past seven decades, Model UN conferences have helped students develop public speaking, writing, and research skills. Indeed, many students have described their participation in Model UN as a life-changing experience, one that influenced their world view, impacted the choice of a future career and/or enabled them to build an international network of friends and contacts that continue to be part of their life.
