A History of Excellence

UPMUNC claims thousands of individuals as alumni who have appreciated the conference’s innovation, magnitude, and spirit,. With a fifty-eight year history and the setting of America’s first capital and home to the nation’s first diplomat, Benjamin Franklin, UPMUNC epitomizes the university-level Model United Nations Experience.

A Personalized Experience

the twenty-five member secretariat leads a staff of over 100 Penn students, the core of the UPMUNC experience. With a shared passion for international affairs and a wide range of academic interests and expertise, our trained staff powers UPMUNC with enthusiasm, professionalism, and a down-to-earth attitude. The large staff ensures a high staff to delegate ration during conference — quick responses and a smoothly orchestrated four days are a given.

At UPMUNC we aspire to better ourselves through innovation, and this year we will settle for nothing less. In the past, we have added our dynamic committee topics and formats, Summer & Opportunities fair, and prominent committee speakers. For UPMUNC 58, we are planning on many additions, including further integration of technology, more social experiences, and, as always, new and intriguing committees
