Apply now to take the fall semester Model United Nations course, POL 368. Members of this class will participate in the American Model United Nations from November 20-23, 2021, held in Chicago, IL.

In this course, you will gain in-depth understanding of the United Nations and international diplomacy through the process of preparation for attending the conference in November. Students research a country and set of issues for the committee on which they will serve.

The fall 2021 Augsburg delegation will be representing the countries of Guatemala, Namibia and Sweden. In addition, a focus of the class will also be the study of indigenous peoples and their connection to the United Nations, with emphasis on Canadian First Nations.

The conference provides experiential learning that enables you to develop a better understanding of the inner workings of the UN, and a forum to hone skills in diplomacy, negotiation, critical thinking, compromise, public speaking, writing, and research. This opportunity is a great chance to put your learning into practice!

We will accept applications until September 6, 2021 or until the program fills.

Prerequisite: students must complete the POL 160 course before Fall 2021, or have relevant equivalent academic experience.

For more information, contact Professor Liz Klages, who will be teaching the course and leading the delegation to Chicago.

The Strommen Center knows many of you are already supporting the career readiness of students by reviewing their resumes, talking to them about looking for a job, or connecting them to people in your network.

That is why this year we’ve created Grab and Go pre-built career readiness workshops to support you as you support students. These workshops can be instructed by you and will provide you with up-to-date best practices on how to write a resume and cover letter, how to search for a job or internship, and how to prepare for an interview.

You can find out more about these resources and get connected to the workshops on Strommen’s Community Moodle site by visiting our Faculty Resources page.
