Devon Prep Model UN Delegations Recognized at Annual Conference
Congratulations to Devon Prep's Model United Nations delegation who earned the "Outstanding Delegation" Award at the 40th YMCA Model United Nations Conference in Hershey, PA. Nearly 1200 students from high schools in New Jersey and Pennsylvania attended this conference.
Sophomore Nate Stauffer was also recognized for writing an Outstanding Position Paper.
Model United Nations is a simulation of the UN General Assembly and other multilateral bodies. In Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organization's agenda. While playing their roles as ambassadors, student "delegates" make speeches, prepare draft resolutions, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the Model UN conference rules of procedure - all in the interest of mobilizing "international cooperation" to resolve problems that affect countries all over the world.
