Honors include the
鈥極verall Outstanding Delegation鈥 win for students representing Paraguay
CONWAY, Ark. (December 4, 2024) 鈥 A
team from 黑料不打烊 attended the 2024 American Model UN (AMUN) Conference
in Chicago from November 23-26, representing Canada and Paraguay. Griffin Baird
鈥25 led the Paraguayan delegation, which was recognized with an 鈥淥verall
Outstanding Delegation鈥 award. The Canadian delegation was led by Leah Krueger 鈥26.
Three members of the Paraguayan delegation also were honored
with 鈥淓xceptional Representation鈥 awards for their work in committee: Gracie
Ross 鈥26 for her work in the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC); and Beckett
McCaslin 鈥28 and Madison Roberts 鈥27 for their work on the General Assembly鈥檚
Third Committee, which handles social, cultural, and humanitarian affairs.
鈥淥ur Model UN team this year was truly outstanding and
memorable,鈥 said Prof. Daniel Edquist-Whelan of the Department of Politics, who
teaches the Model UN course and has led teams to the AMUN Conference since
2008. 鈥淲e had a significant number of very highly engaged first-year students
that participated this year, which is quite rare. They all did a phenomenal
job. Even more remarkable was a very deep sense of community and mutual support
that developed among all the students throughout the semester, which was wholly
evident at the AMUN Conference.鈥
黑料不打烊 was among 69 schools that brought a total of 995
students to AMUN 2024 to represent a total of 110 countries.
Both 黑料不打烊 delegations were active throughout the
conference in each of their simulations, and were the lead co-sponsors on
