During the weekend of May 14, 10 members of Beaver’s Model UN club traveled to New York City for the Global Classrooms International Model UN Conference at the United Nations and the Grand Hyatt.

Four of our delegates won awards at this conference:

• Dimitrius Keeler and Henry Bailey won Best Delegate in their committee, the Human Rights Council.
