HNMUN 2011: America’s Best Model UN Team

[...] Secretary-General and Teach for America Interviews [...]

Glad to see Clark on your list, even if their contention for the award was a long shot. As a former HD of the team, it’s been an amazing 5 years for us, going from winning our first ever award at the conference to regularly bringing in over 6 awards a year.

Aw yeah we’re on the list.

Hey Ben,

I think it’s great that Clark has been able to grow so much in the past five years. I would love to learn more about what Clark is doing to build up their team. Would you be interested in writing a guest post?

On a point basis, the Individual Award Results are as follows:
1: Yale (China)
2: UChicago (Russia)
3: UPenn (Brazil)
4: Metropolitina (Germany)
5: Catolica (U.S.A.)
6: United Netherlands (U.K.)
7: Florida International (India)
8: Clark (France)
9: Simon Bolivar (Japan)
10: USMA @ West Point (Tunisia)

Ryan and staff,

Great website and insight. Quick question: do you and the staff have any thoughts as to how some of these American schools have gotten so competitive in such a short amount of time? I saw this post on the circuit and was astonished to see the American rankings broken down like this:

1. Yale
2. Chicago
3. Penn
4. FIU
5. Clark
6. West Point

Any thoughts would be

To finish my post, any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

There is a Univeristy that should be included in the ranking. On a point basis, Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV), representing Uganda, has 10 points by winning two best delegates and and two outstanding. With 10 points, UCV would be on 8th place, above Clark Univeristy. As HD of UCV i’m very proud of my team, 10 points in our first HNMUN is an achievement, the first of many to come.

Not sure where my previous comment went — am wondering if there are rules about awards and plagiarism. Thank you.
