Student Organizations
The following student organizations give Elon students
the opportunity to learn more about politics:
Model United Nations: Students simulate
the interactions of national governments in the UN
General Assembly, Security Council and specialized UN
committees at regional and national conferences (in New
York) attended by a large number of college Model UN
chapters. The chapter organizes and supervises Model UN
conferences every semester for the freshman Global
Experiences classes, a unique application of the Model UN
concept.
North
Carolina Student Legislature: Students write
resolutions and laws regarding state and national policy
issues and debate them weekly. They also debate at
monthly conferences held at Elon and other North Carolina
institutions. Students use parliamentary procedure in
their debates and go to a five-day Annual Session using
the North Carolina General Assembly rooms in
Raleigh.
Pi Sigma Alpha: This is the
departmental honor society, which inducts students on the
basis of overall GPA and GPA in the department. It hosts
lectures by political figures and informal discussions
about politics during the year.
