The Global Politics Club, formerly known as the International Relations Club and as the Model United Nations Club earlier, is a place for those who have international interests to debate the issues of the day, organize conferences, and participate in model United Nations conferences, among other things.  Twice in the last decade the Club won the Best Delegation awards at the annual Arrowhead Model United Nations Conference, in addition to numerous individual delegate awards over the years.  The Club is looking forward to the 2013 conference, to be held at Winona State University.
