THE DELEGATION
We are students representing Universidad de Los Andes — Colombia at the Harvard National Model of United Nations (HNMUN).
Our team is formed by students from all over the country, from several majors of our university.
Our goal is to represent our university and our country by doing our utmost best to continue honoring the history and legacy of our institution, our delegation, and our nation. We seek to champion four core values: excellence, resilience, authenticity, and legacy.
In 2026, our 17-student delegation made history by becoming the first Colombian team to simultaneously win the Best Large International Delegation (BID) and Best Large Delegation (BLD) awards at HNMUN — competing against more than 2,000 students from universities around the world, including Ivy League institutions.
Past members of the delegation have gone on to work in diverse fields, including fintech, mainly as entrepreneurs, legal professionals, working in firms, government agencies or private corporations, business consulting, as analysts in fields of management, analytics and such, among many more.
HARVARD NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS (HNMUN)
Harvard National Model United Nations is the oldest international relations simulation of its kind, founded in 1927, and one of the most prestigious Model UN conferences in the world. Now in its 72nd annual session, it draws over 2,000 attendees from colleges across the United States and more than 30 countries around the globe.
HNMUN, as any Model UN, is a representation of the United Nations in which each delegation is assigned a country and each individual experiences the work of a diplomat in the UN. The goal is to represent that nation with respect and diplomacy, facing and looking for solutions to global issues. Known as the "Superbowl of Model UN" by the New York Times, it brings together General Assemblies, Economic and Social Council bodies, and Crisis Committees across four days of intensive debate.
