Model United Nations is an academic simulation of the United Nations that aims to educate participants about civics, effective communication, globalization and multilateral diplomacy. The Model United Nations Club at Bryn Mawr benefits the Bryn Mawr Community in several ways. It provides Bryn Mawr students, who have an interest in global politics, economics and international relations, with a forum to discuss various issues that confront world leaders today and to draft resolutions in response to these global issues. By attending the conferences and bi-monthly debates, Bryn Mawr students develop their public speaking, debating and reasoning skills. Model UN conferences provide Bryn Mawr students with an opportunity to enhance their leadership and interpersonal skills, by giving them the opportunity to interact with young people of different backgrounds. This exposure to divergent points of view helps to expand our understanding of politics and foreign relations, thus helping the members of the Bryn Mawr Community to become more open-minded and knowledgeable about the world at large.
