Global Challenge

Every day, world leaders work to resolve political and social issues. Are you up for the challenge?

June 11 - June 15, 2023

The Alma College Global Challenge is a United Nations Security Council crisis simulation addressing topics such as the devastating effects of climate change, the threat of pandemic disease, and the impact of mass migration. Students will represent the 15 countries on the Security Council, and work together to draft resolutions that outline solutions to the crisis at hand. By the end of the week students will understand the impact they can have in the world, and will have the tools to begin making a difference.

Students who attend Global Challenge and enroll at Alma College in the fall of 2023 receive a $200 tuition credit in October 2023.

Students will have a chance to:

Gain a better understanding of the fast-paced and difficult tasks of UN representatives through negotiations, speeches, and drafting resolution sessions during the Security Council simulation
Develop research, public speaking, and leadership skills
Work with current student mentors from the Alma College Model UN Team, which has been recognized as the “Outstanding Delegation” 23 years in a row at the National Model UN Conference
Make connections with faculty member Dr. Sandy Hulme, the Alma College Model UN Director.
Present their resolutions to family and friends at a closing reception, and share their accomplishments achieved throughout the week
Make lasting friendships with the participants and current Alma students, while learning about the incredible opportunities available at Alma College
