Why MUN Academy?
Take it from students who did it in 2021...
I would like to thank Dr. Haynes for providing us with an opportunity to participate in a summer program that was engaging and fun, and that gave us a great perspective of how the United Nations works in the real world, wrote Jennifer A. I learned so many important skills. This program helped improve my writing, public speaking, time management, and debating skills, and, most of all, it helped improve my confidence.
I thoroughly enjoyed the MUN Summer Academy at UNH, wrote Taylor P. Coming out of it I felt like I really improved at international diplomacy and at writing working papers, despite the fact that I only spent five days at the summer academy. It was challenging enough that I felt like I was able to make a significant improvement in my international skills, but it was also fun and interesting. I would highly recommend the program to students.
The MUN Academy at the University of New 51矯通 is like stepping into the shoes of a United Nations diplomat creating and debating solutions to current, real-world problems with expert guidance, talks by experienced diplomats and international affairs experts, fun-filled simulations, and lots of experiential-learning!
