Model UN

USU's Model United Nations is an educational simulation that encourages extensive research into international relations, the inner workings of the United Nations as well as specific countries' backgrounds. Teams roleplay as members of the United Nations, negotiating positions on various international problems, researching and writing papers that deal with international relations, and learning more about US foreign policy.
