The Wichita State University Model UN team just returned from a very successful Midwest Model UN Conference in St. Louis.

Four student delegates came home with outstanding delegate awards: Matt Agnew, representing Switzerland in First Committee; Lizzie Bernhart, representing Switzerland in the Human Rights Council; Drew Steadman, representing South Africa in the First Committee; and Spencer Ward, representing the Philippines in the Commission on Population and Development.

Sixteen other WSU students took part in the event. It was the largest WSU Model UN group in recent history.

The conference began with a speech from the German Consul General at the opening ceremony and continued full speed for three days with resolution writing, consensus building and public speaking.

The group is looking forward to its national competition in New York City in March.
