The National Model United Nations (NMUN) is a yearly conference sponsored by the National Collegiate Conference Association. The conference brings together over 5,000 student-delegates from around the world to simulate the work of the United Nations with events held in New York, Washington D.C., and Erfurt Germany.

“NMUN, the world’s largest and oldest ongoing university-level Model UN, annually draws participants from more than 100 UN Member States to address current global issues. Our academically rigorous, substantive, experiential learning programs provide college and university students with a forum to hone skills in diplomacy, negotiation, critical thinking, compromise, public speaking, writing, and research.”

The Model UN program at FMU accepts applications every fall, and selected students participate in the New York conference every spring.
