States government and several international political bodies. HMC Asia strives to
educate and foster the next generation of global leaders by offering a
truly interactive program, featuring one-on-one communication with Harvard

undergraduate students, selected after a competitive application process,
strives to encourage a passion for government and international relations by
simulating international organizations and the United States government.
