Harvard model congress
SAN FRANCISCO
January 16-19, 2020
Founded in 2001, HMCSF is one of the best civic engagement conferences under the umbrella organization of Harvard Model Congress, the nation’s oldest government simulation conference run exclusively by undergraduates at Harvard College. First and foremost a teaching institution, HMC is also the most dynamic model congress simulation available to high school students.
Over the course of the four day conference, HMCSF offers students the unique opportunity to assume the role of real life senators, congressmen, and members of special programs to inspire debate, cooperation, and legislation--while also forcing students at the same time to expand their own perspectives and to understand the issues at hand in a new, more nuanced way.
