The NMUN-DC conference, held in the US capitol of Washington, District of Columbia, draws delegates from all over the world. More than 400 students participate in discussions of issues at the forefront of international relations.
UW-MUN had a rewarding and invaluable experience at NMUN. Our delegation spent five intensive days building international consensus over pressing issues with students from all over the world. In addition to expanding our knowledge on pertinent global issues, NMUN provided an education forum to improve public speaking, research and writing skills. NMUN is the highlight of our Model United Nations experience.

The Texas Christian University Model United Nations program is a year-long experience that includes two academic classes (UN Institutions and Processes and International Organizations Research). This year’s team consisted of 35 students, including 20 who were participating in the New York conference for the first time. National Model UN provides an excellent backdrop to learn not only about the UN and global governance, but also the complexity and interconnectedness of the myriad issues facing the world as well as the distinct national perspectives that make finding solutions to these issues so difficult. To assist in additional fundraising for the conference, a student recently used the TCU MUN program as a project for an advertising class, helping to develop a strategy to market the program to alumni of the program and to other potential donors.

“I could not have asked for a more intelligent, exciting, and varied group of delegates to attend this conference with… This interaction (at the NMUN Conference) helped to break down walls of apprehension for first time delegates like me…Everything I studied in preparation for NMUN, about the UN process and about my country’s objectives jumped from the pages.” — Christopher Delaney, 2009 NMUN•NY Participant
