By Nat Balladares, Senior Dear delegate,
If you like debating, stressful situations, diplomacy, and true awesomeness, then you chose to read the right article! Now, as Vice President of the Model United Nations/Social Studies Club, I hold no bias or favoritism towards any after-school activity; however, as a senior with good taste, I can 110% attest that Model UN/ Social Studies Club is a one of a kind experience that is designed to be challenging and fun for all audiences. Model UN is a mock stimulation of the United Nations, which allows students to explore current world events through interactive simulations about dictatorship, literacy, or even world hunger. Regretfully, many middle and high school students do not know what Model UN does, so read on! iPrep’s Model UN Club participates in multiple social studies competitions throughout the year, mostly Model UN, and also History and Geography Bees. We meet every first and third Tuesday of the month after school in Ms. Gelber's room. Open to all iPrep students, grades 6-12. This year, we have the privilege to participate in our first out-of-county Model UN conference in Gainesville, Florida (Keep an eye out for next month’s article!). Here is our calendar of upcoming events: DECEMBER December 19th, 2017- Model UN Club meeting before Winter Break *Remember ALL members must pay $20 dues preferably by this Tuesday 12/19, but no later than Tuesday 1/9/18.
