The Locust Valley High School Model UN team returned from Yale University’s conference in January with some hardware, as Sarang Cheon and Thomas Simon earned Best Delegate honors from the prestigious event.
Cheon, Simon and the Locust Valley team distinguished themselves across 51 committees at the 1,800-student conference, tackling contemporary issues and building coalitions to solve large-scale problems. Cheon and Simon, sophomores, curated thoughtful debate and executed effective diplomacy through their leadership and deep knowledge of the subjects covered. Cheon represented Argentina in the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and Simon represented the Democratic Republic of Congo in the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
The club continues to grow with each and every conference.
