While competing, students learn valuable skills like negotiation, public speaking, teamwork, and formal writing. At each conference, the UChicago team received the highest honor: Best Large Delegation. This quarter, the team traveled to conferences hosted by Georgetown University, Columbia University, Boston University, University of Pennsylvania, as well as a conference hosted by the non-profit American Model United Nations. They spend hours training and practicing before they fly, drive, and bus across the country to compete against other universities and colleges. The team consists of over 50 first-years and 30 different upperclassmen of a variety different majors- stemming from chemistry to political science. After traveling to five conferences this fall and going undefeated, the team has won the title as the number one team in the nation. “Winning” at the United Nations might not be attainable in reality, but the Model United Nations Team at UChicago is no stranger to victory.
