Model United Nations

In Model United Nations, Harding students learn how to change the world. In order to simulate the UN, students will explore a country’s history, culture and politics, and then attend conferences where they act as that nation’s diplomatic corps. Students will build and showcase skills in collaborative research, written and oral communication, critical thinking and teamwork; all of which are vital skills in educational pursuits and needed in the workplace. Harding University has an exemplary record, and routinely wins individual and team awards at conferences. Model UN alumni can use this experience to take jobs in diplomacy, governmental service and social justice.
