It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 21st iteration of Vanderbilt University Model United Nations (VUMUN XXI)! We are thrilled to host this year’s conference and to bring together bright, passionate students for an exciting weekend of diplomacy, critical thinking, and collaboration.

While our topics have evolved over the years to reflect global challenges, our dedication to meaningful dialogue, problem-solving, and has never faltered, problem-solving, and a commitment to learning. VUMUN provides an invaluable opportunity to engage with pressing international issues, develop public speaking and negotiation skills, and work together to craft innovative solutions.

Throughout the weekend, you will have the chance to meet fellow delegates, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and deliver compelling speeches.
