Model UN Team

UC's Model UN Team participates in several national conferences and one international conference, learning about how the UN works by representing delegations from a variety of countries (recently, Venezuela, China, Lebanon, and Syria) and working together to grapple with real-world problems, including nuclear proliferation, torture, and terrorism.

There are many Political Science and International Affairs majors on the Model UN team, but it is open to students from other majors. Interested students should sit in on a meeting to see if they would like to join. Contact the Model UN team's faculty advisor, Professor Howard Tolley (Howard.Tolley@uc.edu), to sign up for the Model UN Blackboard site (shared with the Political Science Students Association) to learn about the teams meetings and activities. Team members who register for International Organization 15POL289 in the fall quarter may count their delegate portfolio as the required term paper.
