Model United Nations Delegation at Seattle University (SUMUN)
The club simulates the operations of the United Nations. We do this by attending various conferences, some of which give students the opportunity to travel, and holding smaller practice conferences on campus. The club helps students learn about world issues and how to solve problems from a potentially unique standpoint by taking the role of a country on a specific issue. The club also promotes working as a team when drafting solutions to problems and helps students with public speaking.

Socialist Alternative
Socialist Alternative is a political organization fighting in our campus, workplaces, and communities against the exploitation and injustices people face every day. We are community activists fighting against budget cuts in public services; we are union activists fighting for living wage jobs and militant, democratic unions; we are people of all colors speaking out against racism and attacks on immigrants, students organizing against tuition hikes and war, women and men fighting sexism and homophobia.
We believe the Republicans and Democrats are both parties of big business, and we are campaigning to build an independent, alternative party of workers and young people to fight for the interests of the millions, not the millionaires.
We see the global capitalist system as the root cause of the economic crisis, poverty, discrimination, war, and environmental destruction. As capitalism moves deeper into crisis, a new generation of workers and youth must join together to take the top 500 corporations into public ownership under democratic control to end the ruling elites' global competition for profits and power.
We believe the dictatorships that existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were perversions of what socialism is really about. We are for democratic socialism where ordinary people will have control over our daily lives.
