On Saturday, November 5, three members of the Storm King School Model UN Team traveled to The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, New York, for the 1st annual MasMUN Conference. Delegates Kaitlin B. ’23, Regina R. ’23, and Daniel Z. ’25 represented SKS well with their top-notch research, persuasive writing, and negotiation skills, bringing home three awards at the end of the day.

“The conference was a wonderful experience for our students,” commented faculty advisor Ms. Lynda Smith, who accompanied them to the conference. “Daniel represented China on the Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM), and Regina and Kaitlin sat on the BREXIT Committee–a special committee where Regina represented the views of a Tory representative, and Kaitlin represented those of a socialist.”

“We have all worked hard to prepare for this conference,” commented the students, who were charged with researching their topics and countries, looking at past resolutions, and exploring solutions to the current situations at hand. “During the committee sessions, Regina and Kaitlin passed a solution for BREXIT,” explained Daniel. “While in the SOCHUM, I led the bloc in writing our resolution paper which was passed unanimously after merging with the other bloc. It felt great to use my negotiating skills.”

MasMUN was also a very exciting experience for Kaitlin, who received the Most Outstanding Delegate award at her first conference: “I had a very positive first experience! I think this was a great learning opportunity, and I am excited to see where future conferences will take me.” By end of the day, all the delegates agreed that the conference was a lot of fun, a great opportunity to make new friends, and overall, “a very unique experience.”

Congratulations to the SKS MUN Team, which will travel to New Jersey for their next conference run by the Princeton International Relations Council on November 17-20, 2022.
