The Columbia International Relations Council and Association, more commonly known as CIRCA, is a student organization for students interested in international relations and diplomacy. It was formerly known as Model UN, but changed its name in 2007. Supposedly, the name is a backronym. The group was funded and recognized by the Activities Board at Columbia, but switched to the Student Governing Board in 2012 to reflect its increased size and humanitarian mission. The club is the one of the largest on campus.[1]
CIRCA is known for hosting two huge events during the year: CMUNNY (c-money) and CMUNCE (c-monkey). CMUNNY stands for Columbia Model United Nations New York and is a conference for high school students from across the country to compete in a Model UN setting. CMUNCE is a similar program for college students.
CIRCA also includes a globally competitive MUN travel team, a speaker series, a community development program, a world travel journal (NowHere) and a soccer team, among other subsidiaries.
