New member of the week! Our Vice President; Andrew Ochoa! “In high school I was a part of my school's Model United Nations Class where we would talk about current events and study up on things like Health Care, Immigration, Climate change, Nulcear reform, and much more and have debate on these topics. We attended Vanderbuilt's and a few other school's competions and I wanted to continue to compete and debate these things in college as well. I told my teacher that when I got to UK I would start a program there and one day host a conference. Finally the program was started last Semester and we are on our way to hosting our own competion and hopefully inspire high school students to further their knowledge on foreign politics and American politics and see them be the change this world world needs!”

Hello all! We’ve decided as an organization that people who follow us/want to join our organization should know a little something about us before if they want to. So we will be having weekly member of the week posts to don just that. We will be starting this off with Cj Capalar, our president.

“As a military child, I moved around. I was born in Illinois, but I’ve lived in Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky, and, before I got to UK, Germany. My high school MUN club attended the annual THIMUN conference in The Hague, and my experience there really cemented my love for MUN. I was the president of MUN at my school and I was interested in continuing with it in college. However, UK didn’t have an active MUN org. So, I jokingly told my friends that I was going to start one. Fall 2018, I started at UK as a freshman and actually followed through with it.”

Very proud of the delegates that participated in our first practice crisis committee!

Delegates (in pairs) represented different countries while reacting to events in Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, and Avengers: Infinity War in real time.

I saw a lot of innovative thinking, collaboration and compromising today! Great job, guys!
