Model United Nations at UCLA

Model United Nations at UCLA is ranked 6th in North America by Best Delegate in their fall rankings!! Our travel team did amazing this year, winning best large at TrojanMUN and outstanding small delegation at SBIMUN! They won awards at McMUN, NCSC, and BarMUN, and have been doing so well across the circuit this year. We've moved up from an 11th place ranking last year, and are so proud of our team for continuing to train, travel, and most importantly, have fun! 😚😎

With our travel year coming to a close, Model UN at UCLA is so thankful to all of our travel team members. To Erin, Jakob, and Atharva: thank you for leading our team this year. We love you dearly and are so grateful for the team you have created that stretches beyond competition. Model UN at UCLA has led to so many friendships and opportunities, and getting to travel across the country and within California with the travel team has been such a great experience for so many of our members.

We're excited to see what the rest of the year brings, with LAMUN in just a few weeks... and to our travel team, whether it is your last year with us, your first, or somewhere in between, we're so grateful for your contribution to this team and are so excited to be ranked 6th!! in North America. So so proud of all of you! 🥳💖🥰
