As of 2021, ACUNS operates as an independent nonprofit organization. In July 2022, ACUNS entered into a hosting agreement with Georgetown University in Washington, DC, through December 2025. As part of this agreement, Georgetown, a top-tier global university with a large student body interested in the United Nations and international affairs, provides ACUNS with a headquarters for its staff and operations.
The ACUNS Executive Director works from their office at the university, teaches three courses per year, and mentors students concentrating in international organizations, ethics, and law. ACUNS is grateful for its partnership with Georgetown, which will allow it to expand its reach and reinforce its programming, and which builds upon arrangements at previous host institutions.
Past Host Institutions
Since its founding in 1987, ACUNS has had the privilege of working with numerous institutional hosts. Prior to its transformation into an independent nonprofit organization, all ACUNS operations were housed and supported by host universities. As of 2021, ACUNS continues to develop hosting relationships, but does so as an independent organization engaged in a collaborative association with the partner university.
