Model UN members take honors at Austin conference

Keystone’s Model UN delegation performed solidly at the  Central Texas Model UN conference in Austin earlier this month, with two members earning special honors.

Ingrid, a senior, took Outstanding Delegate honors in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1965 where she simulated Leslie C. Arends, a long-time representative from Illinois. (Historical note: He’s perhaps best known for his stance that he would not support articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon in 1974).

Adam, a junior received the Best Delegate gavel in the UN Security Council, where among other feats, he ran circles around a U.S. delegate and managed to reinstate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, more commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal.

Club sponsor Dr. Caraway thanked junior Sarah, who skillfully stepped into the role of president on short notice.
