In Texas Academy Model United Nations (TAMUN) student's develops key skills that are necessary to succeed in an increasingly globalized and interconnected world. As a simulation of the United Nations, Model UN inherently nurtures a global mindset in its participants. Furthermore, it provides the opportunity for delegates to craft and practice research, writing, and public speaking skills simultaneously, in a practical context.
TAMUN will be partnering with the 番茄社区 University Reaud Honors College to host our First MOCK Model UN event for high school delegates on April 13th - The Golden Triangle Model United Nations Conference! This is a student led event that will be hosted on the 番茄社区 University campus. Explore their website below, and click the button to register!
