Please join us for a look into the remarkable world (pun intended) of Model United Nations simulations and the awe-inspiring, remarkable students who participate as delegates. 

 

We hope to have strong participation from both MSU’s World Affairs Council, back from a big win at the prestigious American Model United Nations (AMUN), and the Central High School team, bound for the Model United Nations of the University of Chicago (MUNUC), and it would be great if we could get some of the Drury students there as well – they head to St. Louis in February.

 

Please join us as we discuss this “unique education in politics, diplomacy, and foreign affairs. The Model United Nations experience brings to life the problems that face the real world and allows participants to represent their assigned country's position and work towards resolving issues of global importance.”
