UPCOMING CONFERENCES
to be announced!
College Conferences
Herricks MUN attends multiple college conferences a school year, and is first priority for class members. However, returning class members and motivated club members also have the opportunity to attend our college conferences. We will be attending three virtual college conferences this year and we are so excited for you to join us!

We are so proud of every delegate who represented our school at this conference.
CMUNCE 2022
On the weekend of 1/14-1/16, students from Herricks High School’s Model UN program attended the Columbia Model United Nations Conference and Exposition (CMUNCE). Students were able to debate on topics such as the Yiwei Resistance, FDR’s First 100 Days, and the Triwizard Tournament, just to name a few. Herricks also had some award winners among those who attended the conference. Gauri Dutt received the Outstanding Delegate Award for representing Barty Crouch Sr. in the Triwizard Tournament, Reena Gupta received the Outstanding Delegate Award for representing Fundraising Director in Krisis of the Kardashians, Megan Cheng received the Outstanding Delegate Award for representing Imran Zachaev in A Red Awakening: 1950 Langley High School Joint Board of Trustees, and Ryan Verma received a Verbal Commendation for representing Wolfgang Gerhardt in Wolves, Goats, and Cabbages JCC: Germany. We congratulate these delegates and hope to see their future committee work!
BUSUN 2021
On the weekend of November 5-7th, 2021, Herricks attended Brown University’s Simulation of the Model United Nations. Herricks delegates, including those from its Model UN class, debated and seeked resolutions to a variety of topics, including the question of the Crimean Peninsula, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, territorial disputes in Antarctica, and The Office.

Delegates collaborated and discussed interesting topics such as the global effects of brain drain, the secrets in Gossip Girl and landing on the moon! This one-day high school conference was similar in size to HMUNC and gave all of our delegates a great experience in debate. Two delegates won awards: Drishti Patel received the Best Delegate award for representing France in ECOSOC and Shome Chakraborty received an Honorable Mention for representing Benjamin Ruggles in the US Senate 1832 Nullification Crisis. Thank you to all delegates who attended and we hope to see you all in future conferences!

Important Note!
Students taking MUN Class or MUN Club Members earn priority to attend special College and High School Conferences held by schools across the country. But all Herricks students can attend! Compete for awards and further your MUN experience by challenging and negotiating with delegates from other schools.
