About Us

For more than 15 years, Sonoma State University has sent a delegation to the National Model UN in New York City. NMUN is a major annual academic simulation of the UN which works to educate participants about topics such as the structure and operations of the United Nations, key themes in international relations and global politics, the system of international diplomacy, and the mission of the UN itself. Students serve on committees from the General Assembly to UNESCO to IAEA to the World Health Organization and Security Council. 

In the past eight years, the Sonoma State University team has been awarded Outstanding Delegation in 2019 (United States), Distinguished Delegation in 2018 (Iran), 2013 (both Serbia and Ukraine), and 2011 (Azerbaijan), and Honorable Mention in 2017 (France), 2016 (Ireland), 2015 (Nigeria), 2014 (Cuba), and 2012 (Venezuela). Our student delegates have won additional awards for best Position Papers in 2018, 2017, 2014, and 2013, and Outstanding Delegates in committee in 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2014, for a total of nearly two dozen awards in eight years.
