Middle School Students Play Diplomats at Model UN Conference

By Nick Meissner, Upper School History teacher

On Saturday, October 17, thirteen Middle School students stepped into the roles of diplomats at the McLean Model United Nations Conference (McMUNC XII). Our team engaged in thoughtful debate, collaboration, and problem-solving on issues of global importance—from regulating nuclear and power plant technology to economic inequality triggered by artificial intelligence (AI). Representing different countries and historical personalities, students explored complex challenges and worked together to develop resolutions in their committees. This conference, the first of our MS Model UN program this school year, provided a wonderful opportunity for them to practice their public speaking and strengthen their critical thinking and research skills. 

We are incredibly proud of our Middle School delegation for their curiosity and commitment to becoming informed global citizens!
