Michigan State University Model United Nations (MSUMUN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is completely run by MSU students. As an organization, MSUMUN hosts annual Model UN conferences at the middle and high school levels. Model United Nations is an interactive debate style that puts students in the shoes of nations and people in the past, present, and future to solve world issues and rewrite history. As a member of MSUMUN, you would create and run these scenarios for students by preparing research for them, moderating debate, and sometimes acting out scenarios. We have ample leadership roles to fill every year; joining as a Junior Staffer is the first step to filling one. Additionally, MSUMUN has social events throughout the year for you to meet and get to know our members. For more info, please see our website here

Junior Staffers are the largest section of staff in MSU Model United Nations and fill a wide range of positions. Within the category of Junior Staff, applicants can serve as Committee Staff and Crisis Staff. Within each of these areas Junior Staff will work with and be guided by Senior Staff who are veteran staff members.

No prior knowledge or experience with Model UN is necessary for Junior Staff! Every applicant will be placed.

*While this is called an application, think of it more as a placement interest form. *

The time commitment for Junior Staff is difficult to quantify, but Junior Staff can usually expect weekly meetings arranged by their Senior Staff in addition to the mandatory calendar commitments assigned by MSUMUN. The time commitment is greatest in the months of February and March near conference times. Below is a calendar with dates specific to Junior Staff. Our Chief of Staff Anna Matz will reach out to you once we have received your application with your committee placement.
