CU Model UN meets regularly to practice and improve speaking, debating, critical reasoning skills, and the ability to view global issues from an international perspective. Outside from regular meetings, CU Model UN hosts workshops throughout the year for leadership and speaking. In December, they host their own Model UN conference for high school students around Colorado. Outside of the club, they are a welcoming and inclusive community with diverse backgrounds and majors. They host parties, social events, and group dinners on a regular basis, all of which are completely optional and separate from main club activities. The National conferences (NMUN-DC; NMUN-NY) are an opportunity to truly emulate the United Nations. They get a true, proper experience of representing a country in the UN, and have speeches, working papers, and voting sessions. In addition, members meet dozens of people from around the whole world, and form connections that last forever.
