BUHMUN provides an immersive, exciting, and informative experience for high schoolers to learn about international relations.

What is a MUN?
A Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulated sitting of the United Nations wherein students adopt the role of a representative for a specific country. Each student represents the interests of their adopted country as the conference deliberates significant global issues. Throughout the MUN, students can expect to provide opening statements, negotiate with their colleagues on potential solutions, and ultimately come to a consensus on a resolution, all while ensuring their country’s voice is heard.
