Simulations
In a Model UN simulation, you are assigned a nation to represent as a UN delegate and a UN committee in which you will debate a current, relevant UN topic. You will give speeches and work with other students to find solutions and write "resolutions". At the end, awards are given to the best delegates.
Training & Development
In a simulation, delegates debate using 'Parliamentary Procedure'. Our organization accommodates both those who are already familiar with parliamentary procedure and those brand new to it. Additionally, we hold activities and practices designed to sharpen debating and networking skills.
Travel
Model UN Simulations, or 'Conferences', take place in venues across the country. Our team has travelled to Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, D.C., Boston, Charlottesville, Berkeley, and Montreal with many more trips planned. After member dues, all travel costs are covered by the team.
