History

Central Texas Model United Nations was founded at the University of Texas at Austin in 1994 to present and participate in simulations of the United Nations and other international organizations to students throughout Texas and around the world. The first Central Texas Model United Nations Conference was convened to promote the debate format in the Austin area, with four schools attending in the first year. Since then, CTMUN’s conference operations have consistently grown, with over four hundred high school students from across Texas competing every year.

Our organization is dedicated to providing the best Model UN simulation program in Central Texas and we offer a unique opportunity to college-bound high school students to visit a world-class university. Conference events include professional development and international organization simulation components: opening and closing ceremonies featuring cultural performances, distinguished speakers, and an awards ceremony, the conference proper with multiple simulation sessions operated by our collegiate staff, and a range of social events for delegates to build professional relationships outside of committee. We strive to provide the best simulation and educational experience possible for students from throughout Texas at the lowest cost to attending high schools.

Central Texas Model United Nations is a 501(c)-3, non-profit organization. Donations for our conference is welcome and appreciated.
