Welcome to MacEwan United Nations

"In its thirty years of existence, the UN club has offered MacEwan students extra-curricular exposure to the world of international diplomacy and enhanced their knowledge of the UN and the importance of multilateralism.  Using a peer-to-peer training approach, the club has prepared students to model the behaviour of diplomats and engage in negotiations with their counterparts at NMUN conferences in New York and other international venues, including Japan, Germany, Ecuador (Galapagos Islands), South Korea, China, and Italy. 

In its first decade, the club initiated the Alberta Inter-collegiate Model United Nations and took students to simulations of the Organization of American States (MOAS) under the then Department of Foreign Affairs public diplomacy funding support for university students. MOAS conferences took MacEwan students to Argentina, Dominican Republic, and Colombia. Since 2003, the club has focused primarily on preparing students for NMUN conferences.  UN Club members have benefited from the educational outcomes of research, public speaking, negotiations, team building and cross-cultural learning. Many UN club alumni have moved on to successful careers in law, foreign service, business, non-governmental sector, and civil service.  Club members have been accepted into top graduate programs in Canada and the US.

I wish the club success in the coming years, as it prepares to support MacEwan University as the host institution for NMUN Canada in November 2025, and to provide future students with the experiential learning of international diplomacy."
