MHC tops women’s colleges in Model UN circuit.

Mount Holyoke College’s Model United Nations team earned top honors in national competition this year, landing among the top 25 schools overall for the first time in the group’s history.

The MHC team was ranked third among liberal arts colleges and the number-one women’s college in the United States. Many of the other contestants were from much larger institutions, including several Ivy League schools.

“On such a competitive circuit, MHC’s Model UN at times is considered the underdog,” said Onji Bae ’17 of South Korea. “We absolutely love proving people wrong about that.”

Between 25 and 50 Mount Holyoke students participate in Model UN, which sends about a dozen delegates to conferences at institutions throughout the East Coast, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. Mount Holyoke will host the Five College Model UN Conference March 27–29.
