The Model U.N. is an experience through which students can become familiar with the process of international relations. Often people see seemingly obvious solutions to world problems that our government and other governments cannot solve. This is one of the questions which the Model U.N. experience helps to answer. In Model U.N. competitions each student takes the role of an ambassador or a representative to the United Nations from one of its member states.
Several students represent the same country, but serve on different committees or councils.
Thus, students become experts on a specific area of policy for their country. The ASU M.U.N. is organized on two levels. The first is a classroom experience in which students study the country they will represent as well as the U.N. itself. The class is for one hour of credit and may be taken a total of three times. The second level is voluntary participation in the ASU Model U.N. Organization, an official student club which works along with the class to field delegations and also sponsor ASU's Model U.N. meets for high school students on our campus.
