Watkinson’s upper school Model United Nations attended Dartmouth Model UN (DartMUN) last weekend (April 5-7) with 8 private high school students. Jackson F. ’21 won an “outstanding delegate” award for his work representing the Chief of Staff for the Philippines Navy (PN) – Carlito Galvez Jr.; his committee was the Duterte Administration.
DartMUN was comprised of students playing the roles of specific real people, with President Duterte largely communicating with them via Twitter.
Heartfelt thanks to alumni private school parents Kasha and Peter Novak (parents of Caroline ’13) for their consistent generosity; they have donated the use of their house in Quechee for the past 6 years for the team to stay in, which makes for a great group experience and a very affordable trip.
