Model UN Team Earns Top Honors in Washington, D.C.

November 9, 2026

 

On November 6-8, ten members of Baylor’s Model United Nations Team traveled to Washington, D.C. for the National Model United Nations Conference, where approximately 800 university students from three continents simulated the work of eight United Nations Committees. 

At the conference Baylor’s team was named an OUTSTANDING Delegation by conference staff, which is the highest team award given at conference. An Outstanding Delegation award is commendable in any year, but for this team it is especially impressive, as only one of the students on the team had participated in this conference before and only two others had attended any conference in the past. Sic ‘em, Baylor Model UN!
