MUN provides practical experience in international diplomacy as students role-play various countries in simulated United Nations debate.
Emphasis is on developing speaking, debate, and internet research skills.
In recent years we have represented the Czech Republic, Costa Rica, Iran, and Columbia, among others. Issues and committees vary each year but have included human rights, land mines, global water supplies, international trade, women's rights, national missile defense, and nuclear proliferation. The four-day conference, held at a major hotel on the West Coast, draws hundreds of students from around the world and provides wonderful opportunities for intercultural communication and academic growth. The MUN club is active year round organizing outside speakers, holding regional MUN simulations, working with high schools, and speaking to community groups. All majors are welcome.
