LOCATION | NMUN•08: One of the main attractions of the NMUN Conference is its New York City location with UN Headquarters, the lights of Broadway, and some of the best museums and shopping in the world.

LOCATION | NMUN•DC: NCCA, in partnership with the Osgood Center for International Studies, will hold NMUN•DC at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). Washington, DC offers access to renowned museums, monuments, and the opportunity for delegates to meet with Embassy and State officials.

SECRETARIAT | All NMUN Conferences are administered by an experienced secretariat from all over the world. We select our volunteer staff from our conference delegate ranks. Many of the individual committees are directed by either graduate students or professionals who hold at least a BA/BS in their field. The Conference Secretariat works year-round to ensure the most exciting, realistic, and rewarding educational simulation possible.

RESOURCES | NMUN provides many preparation resources for delegates including background information on committee structure, agenda items, rules of procedure, and references for further research. Committee updates are provided on-line.

An on-site Delegate Resource Center contains photocopiers, workspace, computer word processors, printers and a helpful office staff. The resource center also offers limited access to Internet resources and faculty members.

BRIEFINGS | Our locations and unique status with the United Nations allow delegations to request a briefing by a representative from the permanent mission to the UN of their assigned country or its embassy. Individual student delegations arrange their own briefings.

SPEAKERS | NMUN has hosted such renowned and respected opening speakers as H.E. Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, H.E. Mr. Kofi Annan, Ambassador Bill Richardson of the U.S., Ambassador Allan Rock of Canada, Ambassador Karl Paschke of Germany and many others. In addition, the NMUN Secretariat will arrange for U.N. officials and/or experts in the field to speak.

HISTORY | The NCCA, sponsor of the National Model United Nations (NMUN) and related activities, was incorporated in 1968 as a nonprofit, educational corporation of the United States. The NCCA is also a recognized Non-Governmental Organization associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information.

NCCA programs offer a diverse group of informed participants a forum for discussing global concerns in a context that closely parallels the "real world." Students and faculty from five continents work feverishly to propose resolutions addressing regional conflicts, peacekeeping, human rights, women and children, economic and social development, and the environment. NMUN programs provide students with a better understanding of the inner working of the United Nations as they build skills in diplomacy and compromise.
