The ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Model UN Society's premier on-campus activity, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ United Nations Day, commemorates the creation of the United Nations in 1945. Co-sponsored by the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ chapter of UNA-USA, UN Day is your opportunity to learn about simulations, conferences and how the United Nations really works.
³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ's UN Day 2025 was an extraordinary success. Students were registered for over 80 countries, representing Hampton University, Norfolk State University, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ and Regent University. It was intense and raucous, with weeks of UN debate compressed in a six-hour simulation. Awards went to six participants—newcomers all.
