Model United Nations Team at Yale (MUNTY)
The Yale Model United Nations Team (MUNTY) represents Yale University and the Yale International Relations Association at collegiate model United Nations conferences. The team consists of 25-30 members who are selected on competitive bases to compete at national conferences. Presently, the team is one of the top ranked teams in the world.
The students on the team pursue their interests in international relations while acquiring skills of negotiation and policy making. Through independent research and training in the art of diplomacy, the members acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle the global political, economic, and security concerns faced by modern society.
Ultimately, MUNTY serves to promote the spirit of diplomacy and the principles of the United Nations. It is on this team that Yale students are able to step out of the classroom and into the Security Council Chamber or the General Assembly and tackle some of the most pertinent contemporary issues of international concern.
