PMUNT

The Princeton Model United Nations Team (PMUNT) is the International Relations Council's competitive travel team. This year, we will travel to Paris, Panama City, Washington, Boston, and Ithaca. All travel expenses, including food, housing, and conference registration fees, are covered by our organization rather than by our team members. To prepare for conferences, we hold weekly practices. We also host socials throughout the semester to strengthen team bonds.

If you are interested in joining our team, we hold tryouts at the beginning of the semester each fall and spring. Tryouts consist of three rounds, and we do not require any previous Model United Nations experience. If you do not make it onto the team the first time, we encourage you to try out again and staff PMUNC/PDI, as this will earn you priority in the tryout process. Signups and further information on tryouts will be send via school listservs closer to the beginning of the semester!
