LAS CRUCES - The New Mexico State University Model United Nations team took home top honors from the virtual 2021 National Model U.N. Conference, continuing a strong track record of achievement since the 1990s. Last year’s conference was unexpectedly canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
NMSU’s Model U.N. team earned the title Outstanding Delegation at the conference, which ran virtually from April 5-8. In receiving the Outstanding Delegation designation, the NMSU Model U.N. team achieved the highest recognition awarded at the conference. NMSU represented the United States during the mock summit, which focused on several major issues, including the establishment of a nuclear-free Middle East.
