MUN Competes in 2018 BMUN Conference

News

Model UN had another great conference experience this spring. Our 16-person team attended the UC Berkeley Model United Nations Conference (BMUN) during March 2-4, which hosted over 2300 high school students this year. The girls presented their research and practiced their negotiation skills with a vastly diverse and incredibly talented pool of students.
