Knox College Model United Nations (known as Model UN) is Knox's chapter of Model UN. For the most part, it goes to conferences in cities bigger than Galesburg and talks to people about incredibly boring political things, like water rights and African development.

Conferences

Model UN has previously attended conferences in St. Louis, Denver, and Montreal in the past two years. These conferences are mostly paid for out of the club budget, the Student Senate Discretionary Fund, and Xavier Romano's Slush Fund. One time AJ Ross was so incensed about the amount of money Model UN requested for a trip to Montreal in January 2006 that he walked out of Senate, came back, and ended up giving Maurice Harris a $10 bill to help pay for the trip.
