Over the weekend of November 15, 2024, 12 Upper School students represented Country Day at the University of Virginia's Model United Nations Conference (VAMUN), one of the most competitive MUN conferences on the East Coast.
Their dedication and skill were recognized with Verbal Commendations awarded to Stefan Botzolakis and Brady Heintschel, representing China in the UNOOSA committee, and to Libby Gates and Lily Strickland, representing Angola in the WHO committee.
"As we attempt to make sense of various global crises in the news, it’s reassuring to know that our students are using their skills to pursue paths to peace," said Upper School History teacher and co-advisor to the Model UN Club.
Congratulations to all our participants on their outstanding efforts at VAMUN!
