Join Model UN!
A club that many RMHS students haven’t heard of is Model United Nations, or Model UN. Near the end of the 2021-2022 school year, now seniors Emily Douglas and Sophie Olson created this club, with Mr. Caleb Ankrom (who has past experience) as the sponsor. The small, yet mighty group had its first conference the weekend of November 12th and 13th at St. Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois. Their most recent meetings consist of reflecting on the events of the first conference and strategizing on how to improve for the next.
“As a new club, the recent conference was the first conference any of our members have experienced. Now we know what to expect for future conferences and how to prepare.” Douglas said.
“The conference went really well for it being our first. It was a really great learning experience and I think it will help us improve. I loved being able to work with new people to debate and try to solve real-world problems.” Olson said.
Their next conference will be at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago February 2nd through 5th. This is an international conference hosted by the University of Chicago. Co-Presidents Emily and Sophie are looking for new members to join.
Please reach out to Emily, Sophie, or Mr. Ankrom if you want to try something new, meet people, or just learn a bit more about the club. May the working paper to MUNICH begin!
