What is MUN?


Model United Nations (MUN) is a globally recognized academic simulation that brings the principles and procedures of the United Nations to life. At its core, MUN provides students with the opportunity to assume the roles of diplomats and representatives from UN member states to collaboratively address some of the most pressing global issues of our time. Through debate, negotiation, and formal resolution-writing, participants gain a firsthand understanding of international diplomacy, multilateral cooperation, and the inner workings of the UN system.

At Northern Arizona University, our MUN team represents a dynamic and award-winning group of students with a shared passion for global affairs, leadership, and civic engagement. As part of our program, students are immersed in rigorous research, policy analysis, and the development of persuasive public speaking and negotiation skills. Our delegates learn to think critically, advocate effectively, and collaborate under pressure—skills that are essential in both international relations and any professional field.

Our team competes at high-profile Model UN conferences throughout North America and Europe. We have proudly represented NAU in cities such as Chicago, Washington D.C., New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Madrid, among others. These conferences bring together thousands of university students from across the globe, offering an unparalleled opportunity to engage in cross-cultural dialogue and form lasting academic and professional connections.

Whether you’re an experienced delegate or just beginning to explore international affairs, NAU MUN welcomes students from all majors and backgrounds. Our program is the ideal platform for developing competencies in public speaking, policy writing, research, and team leadership. Members receive comprehensive training and mentorship to prepare for conferences and to build confidence in formal and informal diplomatic settings.
