MUN
UMass Model United Nations club is an organization created to provide students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of global issues and attend collegiate Model UN conferences along the East Coast. Our general body meetings allow members to discuss and learn about various global issues while furthering their Model UN skills. One of our club's premier event, PVMUN, is our annual tradition to host a conference at the beginning of the school year to serve as a starter conference for students who are new to Model United Nations, or those who are still developing their skills. The topics and committees are specifically chosen with this principle in mind. The conference will last two days, from October 17th to the 18th. We hope this conference is a chance for beginners to have a friendly and rigorous environment where they can showcase their newly found MUN skills!
