What is Model UN?

  • Model United Nations calls for students to role play delegates in a simulation of the United Nations General Assembly and other specialized UN committees. This activity takes place at MUN conferences, which are usually organized by high school or college MUN clubs. Thousands of high school and college students across the country and around the world participate in Model United Nations, which involves substantial research, public speaking, debating, and writing skills, as well as critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities. DVRHSMUN is a fairly new club but has participated in conferences at University of Penn, Cornell University, and Johns Hopkins in years past.
