DCMUN update
A delegation of 49 students in Dzʿ Model United Nations (DCMUN) participated in the Dzʿ delegation to the McGill Model United Nations conference (McMUN) Jan 25- 28. McMUN is one of the premier Model UN conferences in North America, attracting nearly 2,000 student delegates from universities and colleges across North America and from around the world.
MagalieMcKay, DCMUN Head Delegate at the McMUN conference described her experience:
“I was in absolute awe with the McMUN conference. In addition to working with talented, well-spoken, and driven delegates from around the world, it was an occasion for me to improve my public speaking and to think outside the box, to imagine innovative ideas to solve, or at least alleviate, world issues. McMUN was also an opportunity to create strong bonds with delegates from all over the globe.”
“It is truly shocking to see how close you can get to someone in four short, albeit emotionally charged, days! Moreover, as Dzʿ’s Head Delegate, I worked to develop leadership skills and I had the privilege of getting to know both McMUN’s secretariat and Dzʿ delegates personally, thus making me all the more attached to and invested in the conference.”
For the first time ever, DCMUN students will be headed to Massachusetts to attend the Harvard National Model United Nations conference Feb. 15 -18. They will also be attending other local college and university conferences throughout the semester.
