Over the weekend, the Model United Nations Club participated in the annual Chicago International Model United Nations Conference.

Seniors Jaymee Baron and Blake Ledna won Honorable Mention for their portrayal of DPRK North Korea in the General Assembly and Freshman Pavle Stojakovic won Honorable Mention for his position paper portrayal of 2003 Congressmen Chuck Hagel. Congrats to all Model UN members on a great weekend full of filibusters, tigers, and fog machines.
