Model United Nations

The National Model United Nations was the most beneficial class overall that I have had in my four years of college.

It not only increased my knowledge of world events, but I also witnessed first-hand the real machinery that works behind the scenes. It was a chance to really delve into the diplomatic processes - something I have always wanted to do. Besides the above benefits, the NMUN has definitely enabled me to debate better (with or without notes in front of me), listen to other viewpoints better, and, most importantly, to have more confidence in myself. I gained a wealth of experience that will help me in my job and my life.

The NMUN required much more work than any one of my other courses; however, the work was very interesting and not at all tedious (as in some of my other classes). The effort I put forth for the NMUN was enjoyable, making the extra work acceptable.
