HPJ Host Model UN Simulation for Are High Schools

More than one hundred high school students representing ten area high schools gathered on the ONU campus to take part in a Model United Nations simulation on October 8. During the day, team members debated issues such as proliferation, women's rights, and others, attempting to craft resolutions to be adopted by the body as a whole.

Competitors were judged on criteria that included how active and effective their team members were, and how well they remained in character (for instance, Israel and Iran working together would be contraindicated by reality).

France, represented by William Henry Harrison High School earned the award for Outstanding Performance. Earning awards for Superior Performance were Bowling Green High School (Australia), Tippecanoe High School (Saudi Arabia), Clay High School (UK), and Maumee High School (Iraq).

Also taking part in the simulation were Antwerp HS, East Dayton HS, St. Charles HS, Metro HS, and Keystone HS.

Well done to all competitors, judges, and especially to the students who ran the individual sessions and to Tristan Kilgallon, who organized the day.
