Registration

The 2025 Conference will take place on February 28th-March 1st.

Welcome to the Kennesaw State University High School Model United Nations (HSMUN) Conference website. Started in 1986, HSMUN gathers the best students from high schools in the Southeast United States to come to Kennesaw State and participate in a Model UN. With 8 committees and 110 potential member states addressing a wide range of international dilemmas, our conference provides opportunity for students of all interests to participate in topics that are engaging and relevant. We look forward to watching our participants partake in diplomatic discussions, problem solving, negotiation, and resolution writing. All those attending will have the opportunity to cultivate connections at KSU, make friends from around the Southeast, and engage in discussions concerning international issues and global concerns. All staff at Kennesaw State High School Model United Nations looks forward to facilitating active participation in international interests, encouraging our delegates to pursue their goals, and to understand the inner working of international institutions and diplomatic reasoning.

Registration Material & Announcements

The Board of Regents (BOR) of the University System of Georgia has a new policy (12.9) regarding University Programs that serve minors. Since our HSMUN conference does serve minors, we are now required to have additional documentation for students participating in the conference. Please be sure that the following forms are completed for all students you are bringing to the conference. Students will be required to submit all of these forms in order to be able to participate in the conference. We apologize for any additional inconvenience this may cause, but we must require these forms per the BOR policy.

These forms should be completed, scanned, and emailed to Dr. Megan Hauser for each participating student.

Delegate Preparation

Each Member State is only allowed one delegate per Committee; double delegations for Member States within Committees will not be permitted.
