A group of Upper School students attended the fourth annual Auburn Model United Nations Invitational, where they represented different nations in committees simulating the UN General Assembly, a UN committee, and a crisis committee. Students discussed pressing global issues, including children’s digital privacy and the ongoing opioid crisis. Several students received awards for their outstanding performances: Sofía Padro Wiggins (UNGA Plenary – Argentina, Distinguished Delegation), Gaul Polansky (WHO – Japan, Distinguished Delegation), Carter Herman (NATO Crisis – Luxembourg, Honorable Delegation), and Theo McGuirk (NATO Crisis – Estonia, Most Diplomatic). Students also had the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of keynote speaker Douglas Coutts, a retired UN Resident Coordinator and senior advisor with extensive experience in international humanitarian initiatives. The experience challenged students to collaborate, negotiate, and develop resolutions in a realistic UN-style setting.
