MUN/Debate

Model United Nations (MUN), was filled with challenges, moments of laughter, and the forging of new friendships. At MUN, our overarching goal was to instill in members the essence of MUN, imparting the skills necessary to become fervent debaters, openminded researchers, and global citizens. In 2023, MUN placed particular emphasis on mastering the essential skills and knowledge of MUN, from understanding the procedures, to drafting resolutions, delivering compelling opening speeches, and articulating well defensive arguments. Therein, some of the topics of debate ranged from: the Russo -Ukraine war, capital punishment, nuclear arms and the occupation of Palestine. Overall, the MUN Club has made significant progress throughout the year, and its members have gained valuable skills and experiences that will benefit them in their future academic and professional endeavors. MUN is overall one of the most gratifying experiences to be a part of, leaving you with invalable et hich if t int fu th ed ti
