On a sunny Saturday, February 21st, over 200 students (in business suits) representing 10 Nevada and Utah high schools converged on the beautiful campus of Spring Valley High School to participate in the second annual Las Vegas Model UN Conference.
The conference featured five UN style committees with over 70 nations debating 10 different topics of international relevance.
Fourteen of Spring Valley High School's junior and senior "varsity" MUNers served as the secretariat, led by secretary-general Meriem Messaoudi. The conference included a UN style General Assembly, World Health Organization, Economic and Social Council, Security Council and a UN Human Rights Council, added this year due to 25% growth in participation.
After a full day of debate, closing ceremonies included recognition of excellence in individual and school participation. For the second year in a row, Silverado High School was awarded Best Delegation in the small category. Advanced Technologies Academy took home the award for Medium Delegation while Spring Valley once again defended their title as Best Large Delegation.
Spring Valley's Michael Lehavi won the coveted gavel and was named Best Delegate in the UN Human Rights Council. Meanwhile, Hannah Tran, Cindy Melendez, and Anthony Lee received Outstanding awards. Commendations were awarded to Jensen Roper, Jonathan Daniels, Taevian Jacobs, Skye Xu, Jae Lee, Jacob Geiger, Madison Hotze, and Ryan Hines.
Research awards were bestowed on Jensen Roper, Michael Lehavi, Jonathan Daniels, Hannah Tran, Cindy Melendez, and Skye Xu.
A special thanks to all who made this event possible.
