Model United Nations is an authentic simulation of the U.N. General Assembly. A Model U.N. delegate is a student who assumes the role of an ambassador to the United Nations. While awards are given out for the best speakers of each committee, there are no points as in debate.
LT’s Model U.N. Club meets Wednesdays after school in Room C130 at South Campus, 4900 S. Willow Springs Rd., Western Springs. For additional information, contact advisors John Cronfel at jcronfel@lths.net or Andrew Johannes ajohannes@lths.net.
