Model United Nations

High School Model UN Conference - February 8, 2025

 

For a third year, The Office for Global Engagement hosted the student-led High School Model UN Conference. High Schools from across the region participated, with students representing various countries while engaging in debates on current global issues. Around 150 high school students took part in the event, guided by 11 UVU student volunteers who led the UN committee rooms. Felipe Queipo, UN Communications officer, opened the competition virtually from New York. The Secretary General overseeing the volunteer training was UVU student, Carter Darger. The competition provided an enriching experience, allowing students to develop their diplomatic and public speaking skills while gaining insight into international affairs.
