Welcome to Model UN!
Model UN is a club that is geared towards creating a greater understanding of real-world problems and events. The club provides students with the opportunity to assume the role of a United Nations delegate while participating in different discussions and conferences where the problems are debated. The club also provides students with the chance to improve their speaking and debating skills since they will be required to speak in front of large groups of people at conferences.
