Stevenson’s Model United Nations Team Off To Strong Start
With multiple honors in its first three conferences, Stevenson’s Model United Nations team is developing into a formidable local and national competitor. Members of the Model UN Team research current world issues and represent various countries at Model United Nations conferences. Students work individually and in teams to accurately represent their assigned countries in crisis situations and in-depth simulations of current and past United Nations topics.
