Belmont Abbey now has a Model United Nations Program. We fielded our first team of six students this semester and participated in the UNC Charlotte Conference on 14-16 October 2022. Our students represented two member states, Estonia and Malta, earning recognition as an Honorary Delegation for Malta.
Starting in the Spring ’23 semester, students will be able to receive academic credit for Model United Nations. PO 460 is a one-semester asynchronous course available to all interested students. PO 460 Model United Nations counts towards completion of the new International Relations minor. Students are also welcome to participate in Model UN without having to enroll in the academic class.
The Belmont Abbey Model UN team will next compete at the Southern Regional Model United Nations Conference in Charlotte, March 24-26, 2023.
If you are interested in participating in the Model UN program, please contact Dr. Clark Summers by emailing clarksummers@bac.edu.
