March 26, 2018 - The Model UN team is recruiting! CI’s Model United Nations team is now accepting applications for fall 2018. Model UN is a premier learning experience for students across all majors. Model UN events are academic conferences for students for which they engage in research and discussion about the global community’s most pressing problems. The conferences provide students with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of the complexity of specific issue-areas in global politics.
Benefits for students include skill development in research, conflict analysis, thinking from different perspectives, negotiation, and public speaking. Students are also able to interact with a diverse range of their peers. Participating students are enrolled in POS 427, a 3-unit course. The fall conference is in Seattle Nov. 15-18 and is funded by an IRA grant.
Contact Professor Andrea Grove (andrea.grove@csuci.edu) or Professor Chris Scholl (christopher.scholl@csuci.edu) for an application; the deadline to apply is April 15. Please note that POLS 103 or GLST 200 is required as a prerequisite.
