Model Programs
Washington College students compete with the brightest undergraduates from the best schools in the country, and come out on top more often than not. For the past fifteen years, Washington College delegations have been participating in the National Model United Nations at McGill University in Montreal, currently advised by Andrew Oros.
Their success as model diplomats is the result of careful study and thorough preparation. Months before the scheduled conferences, students immerse themselves in the study of the country they have been chosen to represent. Many international studies majors participate in the programs in successive years, and earn recognition for their leadership roles. Recently, two Washington College delegates were invited to participate in the World Model UN Conference in Hungary (advisor Tahir Shad).
Security Council Simulation at Yale
A small delegation of students travels to Stanford, Connecticut, to attend the Security Counciul Simulation at Yale University each October. Here, students discuss foreign policy issues in terms of international law and crisis resolution in committees of the Security Council and represent a member state. The four-day simulation, grounded in parliamentary procedure and committee structure, is solid preparation for the Model UN Conference in January.
