International Studies
Pepperdine Model United Nations
Pepperdine Model United Nations is a chance for students to
participate in a real-life UN experience. At the Model UN
conferences, including the National Model United Nations conference
in New York, students are asked to accurately represent a country
and its interest while discussing some of the world's most
complicated and controversial issues. Working with students from all
around the world, our delegates will write resolutions and make
speeches to tackle and try and solve these important issues.
Participation in Model United Nations teaches delegates a diplomatic
manner of speech, writing and interaction and is extremely
beneficial to a career in international relations.
