BVR Model UN walked away with several awards—including Best Small Delegation—at BearMUN, UC Berkeley’s Model UN conference. Awarded to groups smaller than 12, Best Small Delegation is the highest honor the team can receive.
BearMUN represents a milestone as BVR MUN’s first West Coast conference. It comes after a successful start to the season for BVR MUN, with students winning individual awards at both Catholic Memorial/Ursuline Academy MUN and Boston Latin School MUN, where BVR MUN also won Best Small Delegation.
Even though we do compete, it’s not the competition or awards that make Model UN valuable; it’s the skills you build through the experience.
