Model UN

Crestwood was pleased to send a delegation of students to the University of Toronto Model United Nations Assembly (UTMUN) this year.  UTMUN is held each February on the campus of the University of Toronto.  Crestwood’s delegates this year included Sabrina Wasserman, Bilal Ahmed, Artie Shlykov, Matthew Cohen, Donna Dong, Taylor Frankfort, Georgia Gardner, Justin Lim, Ivy Lu, Robert McHale, Alexander McLeod, Daven Siu, Viki Tao, Melanie Travassos, Adam Tytel, Silva Xu, and Anbo Wang.

Over the four day conference, the students participated in the various committees of UTMUN, including DISEC, SOCHUM, the EU and so on.  On these committees, the students submitted and debated a number of resolutions, which were modeled on current international issues; as such, the students had to role play and had to be well-versed in the foreign policies of their respective countries, as well as the operations of the UN in general.  Even with all this, they managed to have fun at the same time.  All in all, it was a good experience, and Mr. Masters and Mr. Rachlis thank the delegates for their enthusiasm.
