The Storm King School Model UN Team recently traveled to The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, New York, for the third annual Masters Model UN Conference (MASMUNC III). Five Storm King students participated in a variety of committees, including the Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC), which focused on chemical warfare, as well as committees covering topics such as the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, the Australian Emu War, and the perspective of the Roman Senate after the Second Punic War.

Junior Jerry C. ’26 earned a “Verbal Commendation” for his role as Eudokia Angelina in the Fourth Crusade Crisis Committee. The other four Storm King participants were first-time MUN delegates: sophomores Aadya G. ’27 (Roman Senate Committee) and Lucky N. ’27 (DISEC), and juniors Candy N. ’26 (DISEC) and Yi D. ’26 (Emu War Historical Committee).

“The conference was a wonderful experience, and our team’s performance was outstanding,” said MUN faculty advisor Tim Gillett. “Everyone worked hard to prepare, research their topics, and engage with the current global issues.” By the end of the event, all delegates agreed that the conference was not only a fun and rewarding experience, but also a unique opportunity to make new friends.

Congratulations to the Storm King Model UN Team, who will next travel to Washington, D.C. in February to participate in the North American Invitational Model United Nations (NAIMUN), joining more than 3,000 students from high schools across the country.
