Model UN: Political Engagement As Others See Us.

This paper will explore political engagement in an increasingly difficult and troubled world by focusing on how American college students participate in the largest simulation of the United Nations organization in the United States. My purpose in writing the paper is to explore what we do in the National Model UN (NMUN) program, its impact on the lives and careers of the participants, and its long-term effects on their involvement in civil society. I will also share the results of an informed survey I recently conducted with former model UN participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
