About Us

Middlebury Model United Nations

Distance MUN is run by members of MiddMUN, Middlebury College’s nationally-ranked Model United Nations team. In a traditional year, MiddMUN would travel to nine or more collegiate Model United Nations conferences from New York City to Maastricht, Netherlands and would run MiddMUNC, a free Model United Nations conference for high school students.

Outside of traveling to conferences and running MiddMUNC, MiddMUN members attend weekly meetings, go on a yearly retreat to a farmhouse in winter, have regular social events, and more.
