The ÑÇÉ«ÊÓƵ Model UN Society's premier on-campus activity, ÑÇÉ«ÊÓƵ United Nations Day, commemorates the creation of the United Nations in 1945. Co-sponsored by the ÑÇÉ«ÊÓƵ chapter of UNA-USA, UN Day is your opportunity to learn about simulations, conferences and how the United Nations really works.
ÑÇÉ«ÊÓƵ's UN Day 2026 was an extraordinary success. Students were registered for over 80 countries, representing Christopher Newport University, Hampton University, Norfolk State University, ÑÇÉ«ÊÓƵ and The College of William and Mary.
