Model UN

Please help UNO students participate in the 2026 National Model United Nations Conference in New York City this spring!

What will your support do? Your contribution will enable UNO students to participate in an exciting simulation of United Nations activity involving thousands of students to be held in New York City. In New York, our many debating and resolution-writing sessions will culminate in a final meeting in the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations headquarters building itself.

We are already hard at work in a special International Studies class (INTLS 3060 – “International Diplomacy Simulation”) studying parliamentary procedure, public speaking, debating and a host of international issues. We believe we are building upon our successful thirteen-year track record at prestigious gatherings like NMUN. Your support will help to cover the lodging, airfare, and conference costs of our student delegations.

What do students gain by participating?
The UNO Model United Nations Club (UNOMUN) allows students from throughout the university to conduct research on international and global issues facing the actual United Nations and to improve their public speaking, negotiating, and writing skills. In this way, students learn how to think, speak, and act as diplomats representing a specifically assigned member nation of the UN and, more broadly, to become more effective and confident leaders, committed to making a difference in the world and in their communities.

Your Impact
Thank you to our continued supporters who help our student delegates attend this event each year. You have made such an impact on our students' lives, and we are always grateful for your support.
