Rollins Students Participate at Harvard Model UN Conference

For the fourth year in a row, Rollins students traveled to Boston to participate in the four-day Harvard National Model United Nations Conference (HNMUN). This year’s group, comprised of 11 students, spanned all four class years and represented a wide range of majors, including international relations, French and economics.

“It’s an amazing opportunity for our students to explore experiential learning with literally hundreds of the best and brightest students from around the globe,” noted Mike Gunter, associate professor of political science and Rollins’ Model United Nations (UN) adviser. “The conference offers stellar networking opportunities for our students and represents the essence of a pragmatic liberal arts education, allowing students to get a first-hand taste of the give-and-take in international diplomacy.”

Inviting over 3,000 students and faculty from colleges and universities around the world, HNMUN simulates the activities of the UN by offering a unique opportunity to experience the challenges of international negotiation and diplomacy. Throughout the conference, delegates work with other students in finding resolution of important global issues.
