Model United Nations weekly meetings

Model United Nations is looking for politically interested students to join their weekly meetings every Sunday at 8pm in Robinson Hall Room 403. Their activities include holding United Nations simulations and having open, civil discussions about political issues facing the international world, such as nuclear proliferation, national sovereignty, environmental responsibility, and refugee crises (and are open for suggestions). It is a great way to have fun, expand your knowledge, and get to know new people.
