Model United Nations is an academic simulation of the United Nations where students play the role of delegates from different countries and attempt to solve real-world issues with the policies and perspectives of their assigned country. These students represented the NUI Middle School proudly at these conferences. The students collaborated with middle school and high school students from all over the state of New Jersey, to debate and create a resolution to address global issues such as Protecting Endangered Species, the Refugee Crisis, Rights of Activists, Addressing Debt in Developing Countries, and Assuaging the Impact of International Sporting Events.
Congratulations to the Middle School Model United Nations team for a job well done at the Rutgers Model United Nations Conference & the Best Delegate Model United Nations Conference!
