CSUN Model United Nations Program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Political Science Department at California State University Northridge maintains a highly successful and competitive Model United Nations Team. The team attends local and regional Model UN conferences in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Las Vegas and has established itself as the leading program in California. Under the careful guidance of faculty advisor Professor Peter Kappas, the team received first-place honors at the National Model United Nations Conference of 2007 and 2008 in New York and can be considered one of the best in the world.
