University of Oregon Model United Nations

University of Oregon Model United Nations is the official student organization. Student members of this organization will engage in global topics, attend Model United Nations conferences out-of, as well as in-state, participate in MUN conferences on the University of Oregon campus, and if they so please, be a part of the student-run leadership. Model United Nations, often abbreviated as MUN, is a simulation of the United Nations. Students act as delegates: they research their assigned country, develop an understanding of how their country would stand on a number of specific issues (usually demonstrated through position papers) and then present this new understanding at an MUN conference, in which other students representing different countries all come together to create resolutions that address the problems students have researched.
