The National Collegiate Conference Association (NCCA) achieves its
mission to further understanding of the United Nations and
contemporary problems through experience-based learning
opportunities.
Our conference, the world’s largest simulation of the United Nations,
provides a forum for learning about the United Nations and a wide range
of contemporary international issues. Participants leave with the
insights needed to become better global citizens and the next
generation of international leaders.
Cooperative, hands-on learning is our guiding principle. In preconference preparation, as well as during committees and hallway
caucuses at the conference, students confront a range of topics that
they must view from the perspective of their assigned country or nongovernmental organization. Through these experiences, culminating in
plenary sessions at UN Headquarters in New York, students develop an
appreciation of the perspectives of other peoples, the frustration of

The more than 3,400 university students and 220 faculty from five
continents that attended various NCCA programs in 2005-2006 benefited
linkages with the United Nations. Looking ahead, we are at work to
promote an ever more diverse group of volunteer staff, delegate and
faculty participants.
The NCCA is grateful to the more than 75 dedicated volunteers and
various donors who annually give of their time and resources to support
