History majors are often interested in Model United Nations, a student-run organization that introduces students to the inner workings of the United Nations and global issues by allowing students to participate in simulations of the Security Council, General Assembly, and Economic and Social Council. Participants travel to conferences and engage in negotiations and debates about global issues that are being discussed by the world’s leaders today.

Mi Gente

Mi Gente, formerly known as Latinos Unidos, is an org that many History majors, particularly those with an interest in Latino history, are interested in. Founded in 1999, Mi Gente aims to educate club members about Hispanic culture: historical events, lifestyles, traditions, religions, and customs. The group is active both on campus and within the surrounding Kenosha community.
