University of Pennsylvania Model United Nations (UPMUNC)
UPMUNC claims thousands of individuals as alumni who have appreciated the conference’s innovation, magnitude, and spirit. With a forty-four year history, Ivy League charm, and the setting of America’s first capital and home to the nation’s first diplomat, Benjamin Franklin, UPMUNC epitomizes the rich university-level Model United Nations experience.
Regional High School Model United Nations (RHSMUN)
The Regional High School Model United Nations (RHSMUN) just moved from Salt Lake City to its new home in San Francisco. The conference is hosted by the IMUNA organization (which also runs NHSMUN) and focuses on “Education through Simulation.” Secretary-General Molly Williams from Mount Holyoke College leads an all-volunteer staff from various universities.
Princeton Model United Nations Conference (PMUNC)
PMUNC is hosted by Princeton University’s International Relations Council, a subsidiary of the American Whig-Cliosophic Society—the oldest collegiate political, literary, and debating society in the United States and still the largest student-run extracurricular body at Princeton. Since its creation, PMUNC’s main goal has been to engage high school students in issues currently being debated on the international stage, teach diplomacy by asking hard questions, foster serious discussion, and ultimately further the skills required to reach a compromise and build a consensus. The 2011 conference is at capacity and will be led by Secretary-General Grace Kim.
