The ¹ú²úÂ×Àí Model UN Society's premier on-campus activity, ¹ú²úÂ×Àí United Nations Day, commemorates the creation of the United Nations in 1945. Co-sponsored by the ¹ú²úÂ×Àí chapter of UNA-USA, UN Day is your opportunity to learn about simulations, conferences and how the United Nations really works.
¹ú²úÂ×Àí's UN Day 2026 was an extraordinary success. Students were registered for over 80 countries, representing Christopher Newport University, Hampton University, Norfolk State University, ¹ú²úÂ×Àí and The College of William and Mary. It was intense and raucous, with weeks of UN debate compressed in a six-hour simulation. Awards went to seven participants—newcomers all.
