“GT Model UN has completely shaped my college experience. I’ve found leadership, friends, and competition that I never would have had otherwise.”
Jude Brandt, ’23
The Georgia Tech Model United Nations (GTMUN, pronounced “git-mun”) program strives to provide students with a forum in which they can actively interact with international affairs, politics, and relations. Model UN allows students to apply nearly any academic skill set to a variety of situations. For example, a Nuclear Engineer may be tasked with developing reasonable international nuclear energy goals or laws in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Or perhaps a History major will be tasked with utilizing their understanding of historical intricacies to attempt to alter the War of the Roses’ progression and instead attempt to discover a peaceful resolution rather than creating a war-barren landscape. Regardless of a student’s major, Model UN allows all participants to express themselves creatively as they attempt to address pressing international concerns, alter historical truths, or fight for future interests.
In order to facilitate this, GTMUN attends a number of collegiate Model UN competitions throughout the fall and spring semesters. GTMUN has attended competitions at Harvard University, Duke University, Georgetown University, Florida State University, the University of Pennsylvania, Emory University, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, in addition to having participated in the National Model United Nations conference in New York and Washington, DC. GTMUN is dedicated to sending its students to a variety of conferences around the country, and as members of a Top-100 ranked program GTMUN, students are among the best-equipped to succeed at any conference they elect to attend.
Members of the GTMUN program also assist in running the GTMUN Atlanta high school and TechMUN collegiate conferences. Further information about our conferences can be found on their respective tabs above.
