Are you interested in current events or environmental issues? Would like to know how you can make a difference in the world? If so, come to the next meeting of the Seycove M.U.N. Club. Our meetings involve the planning and preparations for the next MUN conference in January 2012.

MUN is an academic simulation of the United Nations. Students are assigned to represent a nation in an engaging debate regarding the pressing morale issues that the global community faces. The different divisions in MUN cover a diverse range of topics including global health, environment, security, finance, economies, human rights, and development. It helps familiarize students with the UN procedures as well as the variety of global events that occur in the world. In addition, MUN teaches delegates the importance of negotiations and listening to others as they work with other nations in hopes of producing a comprehensive resolution to address the topic of debate. MUN is also an enriching experience as it encourages students to investigate and be considerate of perspectives other than their own.
