KUA STUDENTS RECEIVE AWARDS AT DARTMOUTH MODEL UN

On Saturday, April 21, 2007 Kimball Union Academy's Model United Nations Club participated in a one-day, high school Model United Nations conference at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH.

The Dartmouth Model United Nations conference (DartMUN) is a non-profit, volunteer project run entirely by Dartmouth students. Through simulations of various United Nations committees, both past and present, the conference promotes a thorough understanding of international affairs and raises awareness of the roles we all play as global citizens in an increasingly interconnected world. During the course of the conference, students debated topics of global importance and get first-hand experience in diplomatic negotiations, writing resolutions, and role-playing, all in the course of crafting solutions to the international conflicts and crises posed before them.

Kimball Union Academy is proud to announce that the following students received awards as the result of their efforts at the conference:

William Maio - Special Committee Citation for his work in the Economic & Financial Committee representing Canada. William is a senior from Taiwan, and is KUA student body president.

Claire Feldman-Reich - Outstanding Delegation Award for her work in the A.S.E.A.N. Committee representing Myanmar. Claire is a junior from Albany, NY.

Jae Lee - Best Delegation Award for his work in the A.S.E.A.N. Committee representing Thailand. Jae is a junior from Korea.

Kimball Union congratulates these students, and thanks Dartmouth College creating this wonderful opportunity for our students.
