WPGA Model UN Team at VMUN

By Lindsay Haider, Head of Social Studies

From January 31-February 2, twenty two senior school students participated in VMUN at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver. VMUN is North America’s largest high school Model United Nations conference. Even though a remarkable 1,500 students attended, with some committees exceeding 150 participants, our delegates’ voices echoed in the halls of the Hyatt’s ballrooms and boardrooms. Our senior “munners” took the House of Commons by storm and our juniors stepped up to the plate to pave the way for WPGA’s future MUN program.

A special shout-out goes to Aria Bender '28 for being the primary architect behind her committee’s first resolution, and kudos to Reyna Li '29 for stepping outside of her comfort zone and addressing her sizeable committee for the first time. We could not be prouder of our delegates’ collaborative efforts and for representing our school so well.

Next on WPGA’s MUN calendar is our trip to Brussels, Belgium over Spring Break to participate in Harvard Model Congress Europe. Stay tuned for an update on our adventures overseas!
