NYUMUN aims to promote a greater understanding of contemporary social, economic and political issues. By allowing students to engage in professional debate, diplomacy and teamwork, we hope to better acquaint college students with the functions of national governments and the United Nations.
About Us
As one of New York University's largest and most prestigious student organizations, Model United Nations at NYU is home to several different branches catering to Model UN enthusiasts. These branches consist of the Travel Team, NYUMUNC, and EmpireMUNC, as well as other club-wide initiatives.
The Branches
NYUMUNC
The world's largest Model UN Crisis Conference
Our flagship collegiate conference is home to the first entirely electronic conference on the circuit. Our conference strives to provide a platform for debate, communication, and cooperation on real international issues and to inspire the next generation of leaders to seek new solutions.
Travel Team
More than just a team
As a top-ranked team, Travel Team allows for a selective few members of the club to compete at the highest levels of debate against other universities from the United States and beyond. Focusing mainly on fast-paced crisis committees, the team is an excellent opportunity for members to improve their public speaking and problem-solving skills in a competitive environment.
EmpireMUNC
The premier MUN conference for high school students
EmpireMUNC is the premiere fall conference not only for exhilarating debate, but also unforgettable cultural, historical, and academic exploration – the junction of an elite university's conference with the unparalleled location of NYC.
Club-Wide Programming
Mun-Torship
Peer Mentorship Program
Our signature MUNtorship program connects underclassmen to upperclassmen who will serve as professional and academic mentors during their time at NYU and, hopefully, beyond. Join the family during MUNtorship week in the fall!
