’Wick Delegates ‘Model’ United Nations at Princeton

More than 1,000 participants, including a team of 16 Brunswick students, convened at Princeton University for the 2015 Princeton Model United Nations Conference (PMUNC) on Nov. 19–22.
 
PMUNC is hosted by Princeton University’s International Relations Council, a subsidiary of the American Whig-Cliosophic Society — the oldest collegiate political, literary, and debating society in the United States and still the largest student-run extracurricular body at Princeton.
 
Since its creation, PMUNC’s main goal has been to engage high school students in issues currently debated on the international stage, to teach diplomacy by asking hard questions, to foster serious discussion, and ultimately to further the skills required to reach a compromise and build a consensus.
 
Throughout the four-day event, ’Wick students simulated their role as delegates to the United Nations from a particular nation and served as representatives of that country’s policies.
 
“Of course, it’s a game,” faculty advisor and French teacher Mikel Berrier said. “But it’s a game where the students have to imagine solutions to the world’s most pressing issues.”
 
Caleb Osemobor ’18 and Nick Saah ’18 were recognized for “Outstanding Position Papers.”
