Model United Nations ("MUN") propels scholastic research into a simulated UN conference setting where students negotiate on behalf of their assigned countries to construct positive solutions to global problems. MUN conferences merge academic research with simulated debate and negotiation in a collaborative effort to explore and ultimately discover solutions to global issues currently challenging the world community in general, and the UN system in particular. MUN expands the in-classroom educational experience by blending textbook knowledge with real world problem solving. Model United Nations is truly an interdisciplinary program, evoking the political reality while utilizing the skills associated with economics, geography, anthropology, sociology, psychology, law, political science, health science, urban planning, and a myriad of other academic and professional disciplines. Through the MUN program, today's scholastic elite gain experience functioning as global diplomats in an ever-changing world. In short, the MUN is all producing an engaged, aware, and ethical global citizenry by promoting skills needed to be global citizens. This academic year we will be sending delegates to the following MUN Conferences:
Oct 12-14, 2012: SoCal MUN at Anaheim Hilton Hotel
Nov 16-18, 2012: Santa Barbara International MUN Confernce, UC Santa Barbara
