Staff BarMUN!

Thanks everyone for making BarMUN V a great success!

The Boston Area Model United Nations Conference is the collegiate conferences hosted each October by Boston University’s International Affairs Association.

Delegates are challenged to respond and react to the decisions and actions their peers make throughout the conference.

  • 200+ collegiate delegates; 100 dedicated staff members
