The Holton-Arms Model UN club competed in the William &
Mary High School Model UN (WMHSMUN) tournament this weekend. We had a
great showing this year, with 41 students in attendance. The delegates
discussed and debated some of the leading global issues of our day ranging from
topics on world trade, health, and the environment. Five girls won a total of
three awards between them:
Honorable Mention: Sophie Johnson and Revati Mahurkar
for their work representing Indonesia in the World Trade Organization
Honorable Mention: Sejal Makheja and Acacia Overstreet
for their work representing the UAE in the Arab League
Outstanding Delegate: Camille Blum who represented
Frans Timmermans in the Eurozone Crisis Committee
Faculty Joel Seltzer, Shrita Gajendragadkar, Emily Edery, and Liz Poppi supported the club as advisors and chaperones on the trip. As Emily Edery shares, "We’re all so proud of our members and look forward to our next
meet hosted in Washington, D.C. in February."
