Nova International Relations Association

The Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences sponsors the NSU Model United Nations Team: the Nova International Relations Association (NIRA). NIRA accepts student members from any undergraduate major at NSU.

 

Model United Nations is an academic simulation of the world’s only international organization dedicated to international peace, security, and development. At simulations, Model UN student participants act as delegates, representing different member nations in confronting global issues concerning war and peace, poverty and development, and social and political problems. Students are judged on their ability to stay “in character” and to use diplomacy and compromise to fashion solutions to problems.

 

NIRA membership is open to all NSU undergraduate students interested in understanding global issues and willing to work to raise awareness of the role diplomacy can play in solving pressing global issues. To get involved, contact the NIRA secretary and request to be added to the NIRA email list. To learn more, contact the faculty adviser.
