Midwest Model United Nations
MMUN is an all-collegiate organization dedicated to the concept of a
"Venture in Practical Education." It is designed to furnish a structure
and forum for students to work with the most pressing international
issues from a perspective outside of the classroom, and thus broaden
their awareness of the world of politics. Representing the role of
another nation's delegation to the United Nations, students further
realize the difficulties and complexities of international relations.
Our Conference has three goals: to promote interest and understanding of
the nations of the world; to help students gain a broader perspective
of global issues and the role of the United Nations in world politics;
and to encourage investigation into the field of international studies.
The Midwest Model United Nations has been in existence since 1960. It is
governed by MMUN, Inc. an educational, non-profit corporation operating
under the laws of the state of Missouri. MMUN, Inc. has an official
relationship with the United Nations as a non-governmental organization.
