McMUN 2011 awards are in! Georgetown won Best Large Delegation and Columbia took home Best Small Delegation at McMUN 2011. Michigan State received Outstanding Large Delegation while Rutgers got Outstanding Small Delegation, and the United States Military Academy at West Point won the Secretary-General’s Award for winning the most Book Awards.

But we know Model UN is about more than just the awards — read the full article to learn how delegates had fun and made a difference this weekend.

West Point wins the Secretary-General's Award

By our count at Closing Ceremonies, Georgetown led the way with five Best Delegate awards and was followed by Columbia, Michigan State, and NYU capturing two Best Delegate awards each. The following colleges had one delegate each win Best Delegate: West Point, SUNY Genesco, Cornell, Boston College, Miami, William & Mary, Wilfried Laurier, Yale, Wellesley, Carleton, and Rutgers.

Michigan State won Outstanding Large Delegation

Rutgers won Outstanding Small Delegation

But we all know Model UN is not just about the awards — it’s about the fun memories and about making a difference. The delegates made sure to make the former happened by breaking out into an impromptu dance party before Closing Ceremonies started and with many school cheers at the end of Closing Ceremonies:

And the delegates made sure that they made a difference this weekend by donating $3,269 to the conference-sponsored charity, the Cambodian Children’s Fund! The Special Session on Children raised the most donations overall and the Arctic Council raised the most per capita. The Google Board of Directors was also noted for going out into the cold streets of Montreal to ask for donations.

Congratulations everyone on the awards, the fundraising, and the fun times!
