CONFERENCE HISTORY

NATIONAL COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE ASSOCIATION (NCCA)

The NCCA is the sponsor the of the National Model United Nations Conference (NMUN) and related activities. Incorporated in 1968 as a nonprofit, educational corporation of the United States, the NCCA is also a recognized Non-Governmental Organization associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information.

Model United Nations actually began as the Model League of Nations around 1911, then the world  events of the 40s became the genesis of change into its present form. Every year the conference has grown substantially and is the premier event of its type in the world.

NCCA programs offer a diverse group of informed participants a forum for discussing global concerns in a context that closely parallels the "real world." Students and faculty from five continents work feverishly to propose resolutions addressing regional conflicts, peacekeeping, human rights, women and children, economic and social development, and the environment. The NMUN programs provide students a better understanding of the inner working of the United Nations as they build skills in diplomacy and compromise.
