After an aggressive publicity campaign, the Model United Nations Society at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ has seen a recent increase in membership and prominence on campus.

In a news conference followed by a Q&A with ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students, former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf discussed on Wednesday his vision for the future of his nation, the need for the United States to maintain a military presence in Afghanistan, and how economic development in the Muslim world is critical for reducing terrorism and extremism around the globe.
