Utah Valley University hosted its first ever Model United Nations Conference for Utah High Schools on February 1, 2020. We were honored to have as our Opening Plenary keynote speaker, Mr. Felipe Queipo, Communications Officer, Civil Society Unit, Department of Global Communications, United Nations. Several UVU students from the Model UN class have participated in regional competitions. During this conference, these university students offered their talents and skills to mentoring the next generation of debaters and negotiators. A total of 5 schools, 106 high school students, and 10 UVU student volunteers participated in the UVU Model UN conference. In preparation, students researched their country’s policy on each of the issue topics. Many submitted policy papers outlining their country’s position to receive a “Superior Excellence” distinction on their participation certificates.
