Our Mission

“Vanderbilt Model United Nations is committed to fostering diplomacy, recognizing that true progress on the global stage is only possible through collaboration and lasting partnerships. We provide students with the opportunity to develop essential skills in debate, negotiation, and public speaking while engaging with the complexities of international relations. Through realistic simulations of global organizations, we challenge students to think critically about the strengths and limitations of institutions like the UN. Above all, we strive to cultivate the next generation of global citizens—leaders who prioritize cooperation over conflict, seek common ground across differences, and work together to create meaningful change.”
