Model UN is an international extra-curricular global engagement activity through which student delegates spend months in preparation researching foreign policies and cultures. At conferences, they develop papers, which include their ideas to solve real-life problems that plague nations. Dr. John Anene is the advisor for CF’s Model UN Club.
