The purpose of Montana Model United Nations is “to stimulate a deeper knowledge of the United Nations; to develop and establish a working understanding of the humanitarian, social, economic, cultural, legal and political problems of the world; and to provide free and open forum for the study and discussion of these problems.” --MMUN Constitution
For more than forty years, Montana Model United Nations has worked hard to achieve these goals. Each year, MMUN sponsors a two-day Model UN conference for more than 400 Montana and Idaho high school students, sends UM students to national collegiate Model UN conferences, and sponsors on-campus talks related to international affairs. MMUN challenges UM students and regional high school students to reflect on important international issues, understand the inner workings of the UN, and develop their research, writing, public speaking, and negotiation skills. By bringing high school students to UM and by taking UM students to national collegiate competitions, MMUN contributes to the creation of a more informed local, national, and international community. We invite you to participate!
