This past weekend was one of the most exciting of the season — we’ve dubbed it High School Championship Weekend — and the cornerstone was the NHSMUN Conference in New York. We also have results from Florida Gulf Coast University’s SWFLMUN and we look forward to hearing about results from Cornell’s CMUNC. In addition, we’ll be posting up a recap of York University’s YMUN.
NHSMUN Secretary-General Max Ross speaks at the UN
Both Ryan and Kevin from Best Delegate were at NHSMUN this past weekend — it’s only the second time they’ve both blogged at the same conference this season. Best Delegate also got to present to faculty advisors in a speakers series that included Kiva and the World Bank, and we received plenty of feedback on how we can help improve the Model UN activity.
Without further ado, here are links to all our articles from over the weekend:

This Week’s Conferences
There are two “championships” going on this weekend — the world championship at World MUN in Singapore and the Florida high school state championship at FHSMUN.
The Best Delegate team is taking a break this week (see our Tour Schedule here) but we look forward to hearing from attendees of those conferences! Feel free to submit photos and recaps to kfc@bestdelegate.com and we’ll post them up!
