WAMUNC is located just outside Washington, D.C. and fully staffed and sponsored by The George Washington University.
Over the conference’s four days, WAMUNC provides educational experiences through its committee simulations. Further, WAMUNC’s location in the nation’s capital allows delegates to experience briefings, lectures, and speeches from leading professionals in related fields.Whether delegates are Model UN veterans or completely new to the MUN scene, they will find that this conference will challenge their diplomatic skills, increase their knowledge of the subjects debated, and enrich their understanding of the world.
