Through ICIP - Indiana Consortium for International Programs at the University of Indianapolis, Butler University students are able to take part as delegates in Model United Nations.

What is Model UN?  

The Model United Nations is a realistic simulation of the actual United Nations and other international crisis management bodies.  Butler's Model United Nations team attends competitive conferences where dozens of top universities each represent one or more countries, with each country sending delegates to various committees and councils.  Some delegates may also participate in specialized bodies that address specific world crisis situations.

How do I get involved?

Faculty members in the Political Science Department and International Studies coordinate the Butler teams.  Announcements are sent out during the Fall Semester on the student listserv and posted on bulletin boards 3rd floor Jordan Hall.  Sign-up sheets are made available in classes and in the departments. Put your name on a list by Friday, October 13, 2006.

Why is it         useful to me?

Anyone that is interested in Political Science, International Law, Social Studies, Geography, current affairs, or current events will find the Model UN educating, engaging, and fun.  Debate, research, parliamentary procedure, and diplomacy are just a few of the valuable attributes one acquires while participating.  Furthermore, potential employers and graduate/professional schools acknowledge that extra-curricular activities enhances the candidacy for admission for employment.
