The twenty-third annual National Model North Atlantic Treaty Organization Conference will be held at Howard University, Washington, DC., from February 21 - 24, 2008. The Model is jointly sponsored by Howard University, Washington, DC., and Kent State University, Kent, Ohio. The Model NATO is a simulation of the proceedings of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, augmented by pre-conference study and embassy briefings. It provides a unique opportunity for university and college students to study the role, structure and activities of NATO, as well as the military, political-security, economic, and social issues facing the Alliance. Through simulation, students gain a better and clearer understanding of the capabilities and constraints that shape the policies of NATO countries in determining matters of collective defense. Apart from dealing with a prepared agenda, students grapple with a contemporary crisis to be revealed at the Model. Each participating university represents a Member State of NATO and /or a Partnership for Peace (PfP) Member State. Upon registration, you shall receive preparatory material, which shall include the Agenda, Country Profile, Delegation Handbook and NATO Handbook. Your delegation shall be briefed at the Embassy of the country/countries you represent. 2008 MODEL Secretary General: Sarah Walters from Converse College.
