Model United Nations Team Earns Honorable Mention

From Professor Tristan Killgallen, Adviser of the HPJ MUN team: I hope you will join me in congratulating the ONU Model UN team for their recent success at the National Model United Nations (NMUN) conference in New York. ONU represented the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia at the conference and did an outstanding job. The conference draws roughly 5,000 students annually and has participants from all over the world (Approximately 50% of participants are from outside of the U.S.). For their efforts, the ONU delegation was presented with an "Honorable Mention" award  for the second consecutive year. In addition, Franklin Howard won an "Outstanding Position Paper" award for the work he submitted to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). ONU was represented by Hannah Allen, Victoria Army, Andrew Crozier, Katie Deeter, Franklin Howard, Regine Jean-Michel, James D. Lee, Sarah Lewer, Mary Miller, Jeehye Min, Bradley Nungester, Kirk Stein and Yuki Tada. While in New York, the students also had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Daniel Yilma Workie of the Permanent Mission of Ethiopia to the United Nations (Picture attached). Mr. Workie was kind enough to meet with us and to brief our delegation on the latest developments in Ethiopian foreign policy. Overall, it was a great experience for all involved, and we hope to continue to build upon our recent success. 

Well done MUN Team!
