Conference Overview

The 2027 Conference will take place from March 12th to March 13th.

Registration is now closed.

Welcome to the Kennesaw State University High School Model United Nations (HSMUN) Conference website. Started in 1986, HSMUN gathers the best students from high schools in the Southeast United States to come to Kennesaw State and participate in a Model UN conference. With 10 committees and over 180 potential member states addressing a wide range of international dilemmas, our conference provides an opportunity for students of all interests to participate in topics that are engaging and relevant. We look forward to watching our participants partake in diplomatic discussions, problem solving, negotiation, and resolution writing. All those attending will have the opportunity to cultivate connections at KSU, make friends from around the Southeast, and engage in discussions concerning international issues and global concerns. All staff members at the Kennesaw State University High School Model United Nations conference look forward to facilitating active participation in international interests, encouraging our delegates to pursue their goals, and fostering greater understanding of the inner workings of international institutions and diplomatic reasoning.

Required Conference Forms

The Board of Regents (BOR) of the University System of Georgia has a new policy (12.9) regarding University Programs that serve minors. Since our HSMUN conference does serve minors, we are now required to have additional documentation for students participating in the conference. Please be sure that the following forms are completed for all students you are bringing to the conference. Students will be required to submit all of these forms in order to be able to participate in the conference. We apologize for any additional inconvenience this may cause, but we must require these forms per the BOR policy. 

These forms should be completed, scanned, and emailed to Dr. Megan Hauser for each participating student.
