Why Model UN?

  • MUN offers support, networking opportunities and mentorship for new members. 
  • MUN travels to four conferences every year. For the 2023-2024 academic year, our schedule includes NMUN D.C. (November 2023), NMUN Germany (November 2023), NWMUN Portland (February 2024) and NMUN New York (March 2024). MUN has over 70 travel spots for these conferences, and you could attend one of them.

Join the Team

MUN practices are at 5:30 p.m. every Friday in both the fall and spring semesters. Anyone is welcome to attend, introduce yourself and begin training with the team, regardless of your plans to audition or travel. If you want to see what MUN is like before you audition, attend a practice to give it a try.

Members are required to audition for each conference. Most auditions consist of a 250-word policy essay and a 60- or 90-second speech. All information regarding the audition will be found in an audition packet emailed at least one week before each audition.
