Brewster Students Win Awards and Learn Life Lessons at Columbia Model United Nations Conference and Exposition Written by Jennifer Garry
Brewster High School students won big at the Columbia Model United Nations Conference and Exposition.
Junior Emily Sullivan received a verbal commendation, seniors Diana Vink and Austin Matra received honorable mentions and senior Henry Bloss received an honorable mention as part of the ad hoc committee of the Secretary General.
“In Model UN, each student is assigned a figure within a historical or contemporary scenario,” explained Diana. “You could take on the role of George Washington in the American Revolution or the role of a nation in a current United Nations committee on the refugee crisis. From there, you sit down in a committee with other relevant figures and come up with solutions to a given problem.”
