Seven Model United Nations (MUN) students, accompanied by Professor Jeffrey Roberg, traveled to London, England to compete in the London International Model United Nations conference on Feb. 20-26.

- Tyler Kelly ’24 represented Turkey in the IMF (International Monetary Fund)
- Michael Malyszek ’25 represented Hungary in the NATO (North American Treaty Organization)
- Greyson Salvadore ’27 represented the United States on the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific. and Cultural Organization)

- Nathan Swensen ’26 represented Vietnam on the SPECPOL (Special Political and Decolonization Committee)
- Emily Van Dixhorn ’26 represented Singapore on the UNDRR (Office for Disaster Risk Reduction)
- Maya Zenner ’25 represented Djibouti on the ECOSOC
Congratulations to all of our members for their great work! Please congratulate all of these students for their excellent efforts should you see them! They were a great team!
These students represent 13 majors and minors from across the College, including art history, business administration, Chinese, criminal justice, data science, economics, finance, graphic design, history, international political economy, political science, social justice, and social work.
MUN helps students to sharpen their “hard” and “soft” skills through research, writing, public speaking (in front of large groups), and diplomacy (by working in smaller groups). In addition to helping students build and refine these skills, they also see an increase in confidence in presenting their views in a potentially stressful environment. MUN is open to students of all majors.
