Model United Nations
2010 Model UN Dates: March 5-6, 2010What is Model UN?
Model UN is a UNA-USA program which teaches hundreds of high school students how the United Nations works by giving them the opportunity to conduct a Model UN where they work out their own solutions to real international problems. For the past 36 years, UNAR supported this UNA-USA program by holding an annual Model UN conference in the Rochester area.

The 2009 UNAR Model UN conference was held at St. John Fisher College in March. Students at St. John Fisher College were on vacation, but the campus was alive with over 650 young student delegates and their advisors actively debating, networking, researching and compromising. Delegates learned that UNAR’s MUN is “one of the most respected and most prestigious in Western New York.” According to Bob Phillips, co-conference chairperson, this is because delegates at UNAR’s MUN “follow the rules and procedures proposed by UNA-USA that are critical for keeping order so committees can make progress.” This doesn’t occur at all Model UN conferences.Over 600 student delegates represented 48 regional high schools from across upstate New York. Delates were divided into several committees, each of which delt with specific topics on a variety of pressing international issues. The conference was also attended by guest speakers - mainly faculty from area colleges, and guest speaker, David Smith from the UN Washington DC office.
For over 37 years, UNAR has provided an active learning option for hundreds of regional high school students. These student delegates were able to break down global misperceptions on a wide array of pressing global issues. By increasing knowledge about the international community, Model UN is a first step to world peace.
