Fall Semester

Baylor's participation in the World Affairs Council of San Antonio's Model Organization of American States (MOAS) Conference is an exciting educational opportunity for college students. This conference simulates the activities of the OAS and its committees by allowing participants to assume the roles of diplomatic representatives to the OAS. Role-playing allows students to gain a better understanding of the problems and complexities of the relationships among member nations. Personal communication skills are enhanced by participating in the discussion and debates. The students act as representatives from a country in North or Latin America. An important issue is presented and small groups are formed to explore these problems in detail. This conference reinforces San Antonio as a gateway to Central and South America and better prepares future leaders for inter-American affairs.
