Our History
ULVMUN has been around for the last 15 years at the University of La Verne. When the program first started it had a small number of students involved and these students had the funds and resources to only attend one conference a year. The conference they always went to was Nationals in NY. Since then
Ourteam is a close group of individuals consistently welcoming new members to this close group that we all can call family and friends. Although our team is a serious competitor, we also like to have a bit of fun at times.
Continue to look for our selfies like this as our professor is obsessed with them.
As a student-run organization, we are consistently finding ways to raise funds to attend conferences such as that of Nationals held both in NY and DC. As these conferences are very expensive, our fundraising efforts are always on-going. If you are interested in donating any amount to our club, please click on the link below to be redirected to our donation page where you will have detailed directions on options as well as how to donate. Thank you in advance from ULVMUN!
