Track · Model UN

Built for the gavel.

Model UN is speaking, negotiation, writing, and coalition politics compressed into a weekend. Most delegates wing it. The awarded ones arrive engineered.

What it is

A competition-focused arc: your first opening speech (hook → position → policy), the two caucuses and when each one wins, position papers that chairs actually read, resolution writing, amendment strategy, bloc-building, and staying dangerous in crisis committees.

Why it matters

MUN awards are one of the few honest signals a student can earn: they prove you can think on your feet, command a room of strangers, and move a bloc toward your draft. Colleges know it. So do you, forever after the first gavel.

How Areté trains it

Speech engineering

Opening speeches built move by move, then drilled with the Speaking Challenge's real delivery analysis.

The Debate Simulator

Rapid-fire positions and rebuttal reps against the clock — composure training for moderated chaos.

The Diplomacy faculty

MUN work levels Diplomacy in your Mind — negotiation as a measurable skill.

Coach as chair

Ask the coach to run a mock caucus or grill your position paper before the real committee does.
