University of Waterloo's United Nations Association

The University of Waterloo's United Nations Association (UWUNA) is for University of Waterloo students from all disciplines who are interested in international relations, current events and especially Model United Nations. During meetings, discussions of a current event are held from the perspectives of various countries and provide students with Model United Nations training sessions. The training sessions allow student who are new to Model United Nations to gain an understanding and knowledge of conference procedures and structure. For those students who are returning to Model United Nations, the training sessions fine tune previous knowledge.

Conferences
UWUNA attempts to visit a Model United Nations conference every term.

UWUNA has attended many Model United Nations Conferences including:
 * NAMUN in New York City
 * CHOMUN in Chicago
 * Most recently McMUN in Montreal.

UWUNA hosted an in-house MUN conference for the University of Waterloo community in Spring 2012, entitled UWMUN2012. Larry Smith was the keynote speaker at the two-day conference and the topics focused on Climate Change.

Executive Information
Elections for new executive are held every term. Any student can become an executive member of UWUNA. The executive positions of UWUNA are: President, Executive Chief of Staff, Finance Officer, Research and Training Officer and Communications Officer.
