Another Successful Outing for the Bishop Ireton Model UN Team!

Bishop Ireton's Model UN Team enjoyed great success at the 12^th Annual Gar-field Model UN conference in Woodbridge over the long Martin Luther King Holiday Weekend.  Over 700 students were in attendance representing 43 public and private schools from the greater Metro Washington, DC area to include schools from the Richmond area.

 

The 12 BI student delegates were represented on four of the 14 committees.  Over the course of the two day event our student delegates were heavily engaged in debate in their respective committees. Perhaps one of the more interesting committees was the one entitled “West Wing: Trump’s America” as they looked at the transition and future of America after the inauguration. 

Bishop Ireton student delegates were recognized for their knowledge, ability to remain in character, speaking skills and preparation of written position papers.  Those who were selected for award recognition were:

 

Conrad Lakso; Sweden; Social, Cultural and Humanitarian (SOCHUM)

Sam Paparo; Sweden; Social, Cultural and Humanitarian (SOCHUM)

 

Sarah Chopko; Burkina Faso; World Health Organization (WHO)

Rory Fedorochko; Burkina Faso; Social, Cultural and Humanitarian (SOCHUM)   

Sam Matlock; Communications Director; West Wing: Trump’s America

Peter Murphy; Burkina Faso; Social, Cultural and Humanitarian (SOCHUM)

Joseph Nakasone; Burkina Faso; World Health Organization (WHO)

 

Maddy Ayalew; Sweden; World Health Organization (WHO)

Ryan Henke; Secretary of State; West Wing: Trump’s America

Lydia Belayneh; Sweden; World Health Organization (WHO)

The Bishop Ireton Model UN Team's next conference will be from February 9-12 at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University Model UN conference in Baltimore.
