Who are we?

We are the Bishop's University National Model United Nations Class! A group of 18 delegates, 2 head delegates and our amazing professor.

Where are we going? When are we going?

From March 27th until April 3rd, 2016 we will be taking on the National Model United Nations Conference in New York City!

What is Model United Nations?

Model United Nations is an international conference where delegations of students from around the world engage in simulations as countries in the United Nations. Our delegation will be representing the United Arab Emirates. During the simulations we will take on the persona of a UAE delegate and aid in the creation of working papers through negotiations in various agencies.

Why do we need your help?

New York is expensive! In order to make this experience possible, we need to fundraise to get to New York (by bus) and to stay in the city during the conference.

What have we done so far?

So far, we have held a variety of fundraisers including: a car wash, laptop sticker sales, a pub night, a movie night, 50/50, and more! Next semester we will be continuing this fundraising with additional events on our campus and in the surrounding town.

Final thoughts...

Any little bit counts and we are extremely grateful that you looked at our page and maybe even donated!


For friends, family and Bishop's alum

For anyone who wants to add to our fun!

A learning experience unlike any other,

A story I'll tell as a grandmother.

We'll work to fundraise with all our might,

To ride that bus to New York in the night.

We just need a little help, monetarily you see

To go off to the great NYC!
