The club’s most recent conference was at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor this past weekend, where about 37 other schools attended and roughly 750 kids total participated. High scoring students led the way to four distinct positions. The club’s leader, Mr. Klinger discusses the event as being a remarkable moment for the club this year.

“This is one of the largest,” Klinger said. “Individuals are broken up by interest… and the students who won were Chloe Wigel, Lilly Mears, and Bennet Lowe who all won first place in their committees.”

In addition to winners, Drew Bohenike tied for third which is acknowledged as a verbal commendation.

Model UN is labeled as a club here at Grand Haven, having students roleplay as delegates for the United Nations and simulate realistic committees, thus owning up to the idea of modelling something real for the benefit of understanding complexities of the world, the United Nations.

Located in Mr. Klinger’s room, pod one, is where the organization meets. The club travels across the state to compete in several different areas of expertise, including roleplaying different events. Model UN is always open to new contenders.
