Model United Nations History and Objectives
For more than fifty years, Model UN has challenged students around the world to become involved in global affairs and negotiation through simulating United Nations conferences. The Model UN program provides students with the opportunity to develop skills that will prove invaluable later in life. These skills include leadership, conflict resolution, problem solving, public speaking, negotiation, and oral and written communication skills.
