MCC's Award Winning Model United Nations Program is back with much excitement
MCC’s Award Winning Model United Nations Program is
back with much anticipated excitement.
Sadly, the coronavirus pandemic brought an abrupt end to the 2020 Model UN
class simulation at MCC. The in-person class and team building processes
(the two main sources of bonding for most Model UN simulations both here and at
other colleges) were taken away. Who could have predicted the pandemic would
shut down the college and halt all activities throughout the country!
Fortunately, MCC’s awarding winning program is back and we are excited
to invite students to apply to this year’s program. Model UN is a
very competitive program and it attracts students from all
disciplines. This is why we are anxious to get the ball
rolling. Students will earn:
- Academic Credit (3.0 POS 234 or General Elective)
- Students have to apply to the program
- All expenses are paid for
- Students will be in New York City for one week, attending the
largest International conference in the US>
- Students, we highly recommend that you look into this
program. It can change your life and open doors for you. Model UN is
framed around what we call the 3 Ls:
-
LEARNING: It’s a fun way to
learn about the world. In this era of globalization,
being globally aware is more important than ever.
LEADERSHIP: Model UN helps
you develop leadership skills. It is an exercise in
research, public speaking, critical thinking, foreign policy, diplomacy and
teamwork. These are skills that you will need throughout your career.
LEVERAGE: Students gain
leverage through the Model UN experience, networking their way
into the best colleges and universities and jobs.
