UWT Racks Up Awards in Model UN Conference
Western Topeka MODEL United Nations
January 27-29, 2014
University of Western Topeka
Topeka, KS
The 2014 Western Topeka Model United Nations Conference, hosted by the Armchair Diplomat Society, was a resounding success -- particularly for the UWT team, which managed to win every individual award and come home with the coveted "Best Delegation" award. For the better part of three days, participants from around campus participated in an active discussion of world issues and worked with other delegates to develop consensus-driven solutions to hypothetical situations while still staying in character. In crisis, cooler heads prevailed as Canada withdrew its troops from Cape Verde and World War III was avoided thanks to the decision to host a peace summit at the Victoria's Secret fashion show in Pyongyang. The award winners, recognized for their innovative ideas and/or frequency of speeches, are as follows:
Best Delegate: Representing KATE MOSS, William Thomas, UWT
Outstanding Delegate: Representing MIRANDA KERR, Vickie Zapata, UWT
Honorable Mention: Representing FABIO, Mutsuhiko Takamatsu, UWT
Best Delegation: University of Western Topeka
Organizers hope to invite teams from other institutions to the conference in the future.
