It was a great weekend at the Yale Model UN conference!
The BBA Model UN team attended the Yale Model UN Conference last weekend. Many students were attending their first ever conference, and I was grateful to see their hard work paying off--meeting and working with 2000 interesting and talented peers from 200 schools and 40 countries.
The BBA Model UN team attended the Yale Model UN Conference last weekend. Many students were attending their first ever conference, and I was grateful to see their hard work paying off--meeting and working with 2000 interesting and talented peers from 200 schools and 40 countries. Their research and hard work showed up as they navigated their committee work: sponsoring resolutions, presenting ideas, and representing their groups in Q and A sessions. As always, everyone who attended did amazing work, and some earned recognition from their chairs. Attendees and awards are as follows:
