On March 4-6, Okawville High School’s Model UN attended the McKendree Spring Conference. On Tuesday, March 4, all delegates left after school and were in formal session from 5-8 p.m. On Wednesday, delegates were in formal sessions all day, debating world issues and how to solve them. On the third day, all members were given a crisis where multiple committees had to work together to solve a common situation.
All delegates did a great job this session. Laura Cook received a Superior Delegation award for representing Russia in the World Health Organization. Overall the past four years, the Model UN program has grown tremendously. Four years ago, we only had four members, now we have members to represent in all ten committees and have won awards for three consecutive years!
