THS Teacher
During the weekend of November 10-11, 2012, the Model UN team competed at the University of Connecticut Model United Nations Competition. There were more than 300 students from around the northeast and Canada at the competition. Trumbull’s own graduate Emily Block ’10 was the chair of one of the committees.
Trumbull High School came away with four awards after the weekend competition.
Jeff Netting: Best Delegate for his work as Russia in the International Criminal Court
Gulrukh Haroon: Best Delegate for her work as Nigeria in the Counter Terrorism Committee
Nick Lozinak: Best Delegate for his work as Nigeria in UNCTAD
Chitra Nidadavolu: Most Improved Delegate for her work as Russia in UNICEF
The Model UN Club also had a very successful Model UN competition at Fairfield University on Friday, November 16, 2012. There were five committees and twelve other schools at the conference. In addition, Trumbull High School had several new members participating for the first time at Fairfield.
Trumbull’s team won six out of the ten awards presented in two categories: Best Delegate and Honorable Mention.
Jeff Netting: Best Delegate for Germany in Humanitarian Action of WWII and Present Day: A Discussion on Genocide
Brandon Capece: Best Delegate as Spain in the Libyan Uprising Committee
Kevin Bielicki: Honorable Mention as Libya in the Libyan Uprising Committee
Nicole Wittstein: Best Delegate as World Bank Chairman Jim Yong Kim in the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
Ryan McEniry: Honorable Mention as the IEA Executive Director
Lily Bauer: Best Delegate as Albania in the Special Session Crisis Committee: Human Trafficking in the Balkans
This provides a great overview of the different awards won by THS students, but I would have liked to heard more about what went on at the competitions.
