The Session also includes a round table discussion and Q&A session with conference speakers and honored guests, many of whom currently work for the United Nations or in diplomatic missions in New York. Past round tables have included discussions on working at the United Nations, job duties and responsibilities of Member State diplomats, and ways to market Model UN experience when applying for jobs in International Relations and other fields.
