Compete with the IRC
The IRC currently attends a variety of competitive conferences. From Regional to Nationwide and more recently even International conferences, we currently attend the following conferences:
Fall:
- Boston Area Regional Model United Nations (BARMUN)
- National Collegiate Security Conference (NCSC)
- North East Regional Model Arab League (NERMAL)
Spring:
- McGill Model United Nations (McMUN)
- London International Model United Nations (LIMUN)
- International Model NATO (IMNATO)
- National University Model Arab League (NUMAL)
Northeastern has had a strong history at many of these conferences but is always on the lookout for new conferences for the IRC to send a delegation to. Conferences such as IMNATO and NUMAL have a strong history of Northeastern attendees, often featuring Northeastern students as prize winners and even secretariat positons. Other conferences such as LIMUN are new to the club as we experiment with exciting new opportunities now spanning across the globe. Conferences like NERMAL are hosted by Northeastern in collaboration with NCUSAR.
