In 2011, the Model United Nations team was transformed into the International Affairs Association, which while still retaining and managing the team, also expanded its services to more than just Model UN. As part of this transformation, the IAA left Western's Associated Students and joined the University's Departmentally Related Activities Committee as a probational member. Since this invitation, the association has risen to full membership status and has formalized its relationship with the committee.
Starting in the 2013-2014 academic year, the Association will be organized as the managing association for three bodies; Model United Nations, Borderline, and Services & Programs.
