We'll also be heading to the University of Virginia to attend the Virginia International Crisis Simulation (VICS) from March 24th-28th. Not only will UF Model UN be traveling around the country to participate in conferences, but we look forward to hosting a number of on-campus events to raise awareness about international issues. Check back for updates!
