KENNESAW, Ga. | Apr 20, 2025

Congratulations to the Kennesaw State University Model United Nations (Model UN) team and their faculty mentor, Dr. Megan Hauser, for receiving an Outstanding Delegation Award at the National Model United Nations (NMUN) Conference in New York City. This prestigious honor places KSU in the top 15% of 134 universities from across the United States and around the world. 

Held from April 13–17, the conference brought together students to engage in a real-world simulation of the United Nations. KSU’s delegation included 14 students, eight of whom are majors in the Norman J. Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Representing the Republic of Sudan across seven committees, the team demonstrated exceptional diplomacy, collaboration, and preparation. The award was announced during the conference’s closing ceremony in the iconic General Assembly Hall at the United Nations headquarters. 

KSU was one of only 22 universities to receive this top-level honor, a testament to the team’s dedication and excellence. We extend heartfelt congratulations to the team and deep appreciation to Dr. Hauser for her outstanding mentorship. 

Participation in NMUN offers students a transformative learning experience, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge of international relations and the UN system in a dynamic, hands-on setting. Students develop vital skills such as negotiation, leadership, public speaking, research, and writing while gaining a deeper understanding of diplomacy, global cooperation, and the challenges facing the international community. 

We are proud of our Model UN team for representing KSU with excellence on the global stage.
