Claremont McKenna College’s Model United Nations (CMCMUN) team is now a seven-time Harvard World Model United Nations (WorldMUN) champion after winning Best Small Group Delegation at this year’s conference in Peru over Spring Break.
WorldMUN, widely considered the “Olympics of collegiate Model UN,” hosts more than 2,000 students from over 110 countries in a different country each year. Last month, student delegates traveled to Lima, Peru, to participate in 15 hours of committee meetings over the five-day conference from Thursday, March 15, to Sunday, March 19.
Seven delegates from the team received awards — four of whom received “Best Delegate” in their respective committees. Samuel Johnson-Saeger CM ’26, one of the trip’s organizers, attributed the team’s continuous success to its unconventional structure as an entirely student-led organization. He said this attracts enthusiastic, qualified and dedicated students.
