The 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Model United Nations Club participates in the National Model United Nations Conference in New York City each spring. In recent years, students have represented countries including Panama, Thailand, Pakistan, Argentina, Hungary, Palestine, Côte d’Ivoire, and Guyana on committees including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the Security Council. The club’s efforts have earned multiple conference awards.

Throughout the year, members meet weekly to prepare for the conference—learning how to draft UN resolutions, practice diplomacy, and follow UN committee procedures. Students who participate in the conference enroll in POSC 111: Model United Nations (offered every spring), and members are also encouraged to take POSC 415: The UN System.

The Model UN Club welcomes all students interested in diplomacy, global politics, and international organizations—no prior experience required.

The 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Mock Trial Team gives students the opportunity to explore the American legal system through hands-on competition. Team members take on the roles of attorneys and witnesses in simulated trial cases, practicing skills in public speaking, critical thinking, and legal argumentation.

Each year, the team competes in regional tournaments sponsored by the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA), where students gain experience presenting cases, questioning witnesses, and delivering opening and closing statements before real judges and attorneys.

Participation in Mock Trial is open to all students, regardless of major or prior experience. It offers excellent preparation for careers in law, public service, and related fields.
