The United Nations Society is pleased to announce that this year will be fully in-person. Our campus conferences and external conferences are planned to be completely in-person; yes, we’ll be traveling to Kingston, Montreal, Boston, and more this year! For those who are unable to travel outside of Ottawa, we’ll still have our own campus conferences hosted at Carleton completely for free, not to mention our various social and academic events!
UNS had a successful academic year last year, and it’s only up from here! We firmly believe that community of UNS is best lived through the connections we make in person. Whether you are an experienced delegate or just a curious student interested in the world of diplomacy, public speaking and politics of all levels, there is a place for you at UNS! With the tools and support of your fellow peers and executive team, we want this to be a place for you to grow.
MUN provides a meaningful competitive experience to enhance your career prospects. Many of our alumni go on to do bigger and better things, including becoming chief of staff, lawyer, diplomat, and much more. MUN improves your public speaking and communication skills, essential for any career. We hope the opportunity to attend in-person conferences helps you realize your career ambitions!
All the best,
-The UNS Executive

You will compete both at Carleton in our in-house conferences held in late September and late January and will compete at our external conferences at other universities in North America. Those generally include, but are not limited to the National Collegiate Security Conference (NCSC), Queen’s University Model United Nations (QMUNI), McGill Model United Nations (McMUN), Harvard National Model United Nations (HNMUN), North American Model United Nations (NAMUN) and, the Canadian International Model United Nations (CANIMUN) conferences. Check out a list of our conferences here!
Training sessions will be held in person throughout each semester, especially prior to conferences. Training sessions are not mandatory
For new members, training sessions are the best way to be introduced to Model UN. They are also a great way for all members to make new friends, and to build valuable skills in everything from research strategies to public speaking
Exact dates and times of training sessions will be posted in our members-only Facebook group ahead of time
In-house conferences are hosted by the Carleton UN Society exclusively for UN Society members. In-house conferences focus on training and skills-building, and are designed to help all members excel at external conferences. They are also less formal and intensive than many external conferences, and are a good way for new members to get involved in Model UN
External Conferences are hosted by other universities or non-governmental organizations, and many other universities attend them. Externals frequently offer a wider range of committees, and are often more competitive than our In-Houses. They also feature numerous social events that allow delegates to socialize with people from other universities
