GWCIA, the Greater Washington Conference on International Affairs, is an annual single-day Model United Nations conference for middle school students hosted by the George Washington International Affairs Association and the George Washington University International Affairs Society. Founded in 1995, the conference has provided an incomparable learning opportunity for attendees, faculty members, and staffers alike by simulating research, debate, and collaboration on some of the most intricate international complexities of both the past and the present. The conference is completely student-run and calls upon the talents and skills of the GW International Affairs community to provide the best experience for all delegates as well as to build a supportive learning community.
