The John Paul II Catholic School Model UN team had a strong showing at the MUN Conference held last month at Winthrop University.
“Several of our students spoke throughout the General Assembly and in their committees,” JPII history teacher and UN Model moderator Bill Damude said. “Our club experienced a first when we had a resolution pass through the Human Rights committee. I am very proud of our delegates and the job they did at the conference.”
Model United Nations, also known as Model UN or MUN, is an extra-curricular activity in which students typically role play delegates to the United Nations and simulate UN committees. Students have the opportunity to discuss and debate the current issues of the day from the perspective of their assigned country.
JPII MUN members include Johana Trejo, Monica Jimenez, Maura Clark, Paige Weniger, Marcela Carbajal, Ru Bennett, Mya Jenkins, Samantha Reilly, Kathleen Hammett, Lili Lutheran, Karoline Rustad, Ben Villalobos, Cole DeTurris, Collin Anfinson, and Bodie Daniel.
