St Rose Students To Take On Global Issues
St Rose Students To Take On Global Issues
St Rose of Lima School participated in the Model United Nations Global Classrooms Conference at City College of New York on Saturday, February 27.
The Model United Nations Conference is sponsored by the United Nations Association of the United States of America. The Global Classroom program introduces students to conflicting global issues and provides an opportunity for them to take part in a guided United Nations Conference simulation.
During the program, students use their ethical and moral judgments as well as critical thinking skills to invite global resolution using United Nations caucusing protocols.
The St Rose delegation team consisted of more than 20 students. Ten delegates from the team were sent to compete against middle school students from the greater New York area.
Two students, Tony Leonardi and Caroline Wolf, were awarded the Best Middle School Delegation for students who demonstrated excellence in representation and performance.
Emily Spina and Kaylie Daniels were awarded Honorable Mention for their performance.
Elizabeth Ludanyi, Larissa Spies, Alex Gerbo, and Timmy Moore received awards for Best Position Paper. The Secretary-Generalâs Award for the Best Middle School Delegation was awarded to the St Rose of Lima School delegation.
The St Rose of Lima School delegation meets twice per week and is currently preparing to send another team of ten middle school students to the April 17 Model United Nations Conference.
