Model UN Club Awards
What an outstanding showing this year for the CSH Model UN Club in Philadelphia! The Ivy League Model United Nations Conference (ILMUNC,) organized by University of Pennsylvania students, takes place in Philadelphia each year at the end of January. ILMUNC involves over 3,000 students from all over the world. Students gather for three nights and four days to work on United Nations Committees trying to solve many different global problems such as climate change, sustainable farming in third world countries, the protection of journalists in war zones and health pandemics to name just a few. ILMUNC has operated for 39 years and CSH has attended for the last 18 years. Social Studies teacher, Mr. Vincent Natalie is the club’s long-time advisor, and each year his team is assigned to represent various countries in their UN where students have to determine how those particular countries would address the particular global issues each committee deals with. They debate, form coalitions with other countries and try to pass their particular Resolutions by full committee votes on the last day of the conference. Eighty (80) Model U.N Club students from Cold Spring Harbor attended the conference and did the school proud with excellent performances.
