Organizations at Marquette
International Affairs Society
The International Affairs Society (IAS) coordinates participation by Marquette students in the annual American Model United Nations International Conference. The conference is held annually in downtown Chicago in late November. Each college and university attending represents a specific country and attempts to accurately represent their country in up to twelve different committees. The ultimate objective of each delegate is to aid in passing a resolution that addresses one of these global issues in a way that would be typical of the country they are representing. The Marquette application and delegate selection process begins in late September, with delegate preparation taking place during October and mid-November. At the conference, Marquette students represent their country just as an ambassador would at an actual United Nations summit. The Model UN is a tremendous opportunity for students to gain experience networking and caucusing with other students in a professional setting. Interested students are encouraged to contact the International Affairs Society’s executive board at mumodelun@gmail.com.
