Thanks to everyone who attended our International Policy Simulation this past weekend and to the International Institute for sponsoring the event! It’s always great to interact with the U-M community, and we always enjoy creating a space for people to explore Model UN and learn about how the UN functions!

Attend our campus-wide International Policy Simulation focused on sustainable development on Saturday, March 26 from 1-3 PM in the Weiser Hall 10th Floor Event Space!

Happy Giving Tuesday! Our team members are highly successful at conferences and are also engaged members of the campus community and the community of Ann Arbor at large. BlueMUN doesn't just promote international education; our members embody the values of cooperation, empathy, and determination in everything they do. Participating on the collegiate Model UN circuit comes at a cost, but BlueMUN is committed to inclusivity and strongly believes that participation should never be pay-to-play. We are committed to subsidizing the costs of conference registration, lodging, transportation, and team bonding activities so that students can fully participate in our organization without financial stress, but we need your help! This Giving Tuesday, BlueMUN asks for your kind donation to our team which will allow our members to continue pursuing their passions for international affairs regardless of their ability to pay. There is a button to donate on the homepage of our website, which is linked in our bio. Thank you for your generosity!
