Upper School Students Participate in Model UN

The WFS Model UN Club, accompanied by faculty advisor Nick Childers, recently sent a delegation of five students to the inaugural Tower Hill Model UN Conference.
Temi Lufadeju '25, Tripp Young '25, Maggie Royer '25, Elizabeth Pisano '25, and Payton Altland '25 spent the day with peers from other local schools debating, writing resolutions, and voting on proposals regarding climate change and the feminization of poverty from the unique perspective of the countries they were assigned. Some of the delegation also participated in two different crisis committees designed to help students grapple with solving challenges as they arise in real time. Throughout the day, students presented their positions within the context of formal parliamentary procedures, worked in small groups within their committees, and learned how to build partnerships. This was the culmination of many weeks of preparation and Model UN club meetings throughout the year. For many students, it was their first Model UN experience, and they are excited for more!
