Congratulations Model UN!





There was fantastic news from this weekend's Model UN conference in Chicago called CIMUN, the Chicago International Model United Nations.  There were seven Hinsdale Central students who walked away with big awards in this international event.  It's hard to overstate how amazing this is.

CIMUN (pronounced sigh-mun, website here) is an international conference with attendees from some of the best schools in the country.  Many of the schools also offer Model UN as a class.  When our students, working as a club (not as a class), win awards, it is remarkable.  To win this number of awards is simply amazing.  Historically, it's the most awards we've ever won at a conference and the highest number in percentage terms by far.  Model UN isn't only about awards, in fact we try to downplay it, but this is simply amazing.



Michael Palmquist, Central English teacher, serves as Model UN sponsor.  Congratulations to all the students who participated.  Special note to the following:  

Alec Johnson - Outstanding Delegate - US Cabinet

Monica Bhagavan - Honorable Mention - League of Arab States.

Jacob Liu - Best Delegate and Delegate's Choice Award - International Press Delegation

Mita Rimani - Outstanding Delegate - League of Arab States

Peter Ren - Honorable Mention - Historical Security Council

Zach Kanjirath and Aneesh Balusu - Delegate's Choice - Historical General Assembly
