Model Diplomacy Goes to D.C.
Description
The Johns Hopkins Model United Nations (HopMUNC) is an annual conference that brings together college students from across the country to discuss real-world global issues, represent countries in diplomatic simulations, and practice negotiation, leadership, and public speaking skills.
Attending these conferences will provide students with hands-on experience in international relations and help strengthen Rowan’s presence in national academic diplomatic circles.
Funds raised through this project will be allocated toward travel, lodging, and registration fees for participating students, making the conference accessible to as many interested students in international diplomacy as possible.
Previously, students spent a significant amount of money out of pocket to ensure that all interested students had a chance to attend:
"Because of this project last year, we were able to attend an additional conference. We went to NYU's Model United Nations conference, expanding Rowan's network in the tri-state region. We were also able to bring one more student to each conference, compared to previous conferences before our PROFfunder. Lastly, students' out-of-pocket costs were drastically decreased. Rowan students previously helped pay conference registration costs, but this initiative helped us lower costs so that students were only paying for the cost of their meals during their time at a Model Diplomacy conference." -Anna Cherian '27, President, Model Diplomacy Organization
Your gift today will help the Model Diplomacy Organization achieve its goals of attending HopMUNC, enhancing experiential learning for students, and making Rowan University better known in national academic diplomatic circles.
