MUNTY

Yale's competitive Model UN team.

MUNTY is Yale's only competitive Model UN team: a community of students who care about international affairs and want to debate them well. The team is committed to a passion for international relations, a fierce determination to excel, and a spirit of inclusivity and equality both within the team and outside it.
