Model United Nations is an authentic simulation of the United Nations General Assembly, United Nations Security Council and other multilateral bodies. Model UN conferences allow students to step into the shoes of ambassadors of UN member states to debate current issues impacting the globe. Student participants, known as "delegates," prepare resolutions, plot regional strategies for development, resolve conflicts and navigate the UN’s vast rules of procedure. The UMBC Model UN Team has prepared and educated students to participate in these simulations for the past 10 years.
