In 2016, a small group of Bellarmine Prep’s Model United Nations Program’s student leaders had the idea of hosting their own conference. At the time, the Pacific Northwest Model UN scene was composed of exclusively high school and college conferences. BellarMUN wanted to create something different, a conference to introduce middle school students to the joy of Model UN. The inaugural BELLARMUN conference was held in April 2017 and remains an integral part of the BellarMUN Program. In addition to supporting middle school students, the conference serves as a major fundraiser for the BellarMUN program as the funds allow all high school students interested to take part in the program. Over the years, BELLARMUN has taught hundreds of middle school students important lessons in diplomacy, public speaking, research, and leadership that lend themselves to Model UN. BELLARMUN 2026 continues the legacy of the conference as a place for middle school students can foster a passion for Model UN.

Our Mission

To expand the reach that Model United Nations has in our region to include middle school students by offering a safe learning environment in which to educate students on principles of leadership, diplomacy, global cooperation, and communication so that they can apply these principles in their daily lives.

  • Secretary General

    Grace is a senior and is elated to be serving as the Secretary-General for BELLARMUN 2026. Grace attended her first MUN Conference at BELLARMUN during her 8th grade year and immediately fell in love with the invigorating debate and in-depth discussions that are found within MUN. Her positive experience with BELLARMUN has fueled her to try to facilitate that same positive environment for all members of the conference. Outside of MUN, Grace can be found playing softball, going to a concert, playing the piano, or impulsively spending her entire paycheck at the McDonalds down the hill from Bellarmine. Grace is so excited for this iteration of BELLARMUN and could not be more thrilled to see what is in store for this fantastic conference.

  • Chief of Staff

    Nicole Gobal is a sleep-deprived Junior that is absolutely elated to be serving as your Chief of Staff of BELLARMUN X. Nicole began her Model UN journey at Bellarmine as an anxious freshman, unaware of the memories and connections she’d form through the experience. She will forever fondly remember the memories of late-night position paper writing and trudging through Chicago in uncomfortable heels in between committee sessions. When not writing deliverables or practicing speeches in her room, you can find Nicole talking to her friends until the wee hours of the night, furiously finishing AP notes, and jamming out to her million Spotify playlists. Nicole urges all delegates to open themselves up to the experience of BELLARMUN and try their best! Model UN can be intimidating to start, but is an extremely rewarding activity to participate in. She is thrilled to meet all of you come May and hopes you all have as much fun at BELLARMUN as she did preparing for it!
