Help Model UN send delegates to compete in the Los Angeles Model United Nations (LAMUN) hosted at UCLA April 11th -14th!
San Luis Obispo Model United Nations is a competitive Model United Nations club, also known as Model UN or MUN for short, which is a competitive extra-curricular activity in which students take on the role of delegates to the United Nations and simulate UN committees. Thousands of college students worldwide participate in Model United Nations, which involves substantial research, public speaking, debating, and writing skills, as well as critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities.
University clubs host conferences, each having somewhere between five to fifty committees, each with topics that delegates get to explore. Students individually represent a country within a single committee during the conference and compete against hundreds of other delegates to take home an award. San Luis Obispo Model United Nations competes in the North American Circuit, which uses a ranking system dependent on individual student awards, awarding points to the delegate's school. Hundreds of delegates will be competing for just a small handful of awards.
Though SLO Model UN has only existed for a year, the team has proven itself to be quite competitive. Having only attended 4 conferences, the club has already won 6 individual awards, 2 of which were won at the largest North American conference with over 2,000 delegates from around the globe!
Your donation will allow Cal Poly students to go to Los Angeles to compete in the Los Angeles Model United Nations (LAMUN) and to bring home more awards! Our organization is composed of about thirty active members at Cal Poly, and our goal is to send fifteen to twenty students to each conference we attend. Thank you for your support!
