Model United Nations

Students have been winning awards and making great memories in WSU's Model UN program for over 60 years. Through Model UN, WSU students learn about the UN, its role in world affairs, and the transformative power of diplomacy. Students take on the role of diplomats and practice critical skills, like consensus-building, collaboration, teamwork, critical thinking, research and writing, and public speaking.

During his time as a member of the WSU Model UN program, Mr. McGuire was twice named Outstanding Delegate at the University of Pennsylvania Model UN Conference and was a member of several award winning delegations. Following graduation from WSU, he served as under secretary general of the National Model UN in New York and served two additional years on its governing board.
