The NUI Middle School Model United Nations Team competed at the Philadelphia Model UN Conference on Friday, February 25, 2022 - Sunday, February 27, 2022.  The PhilMUN conference was sponsored by the Institute for Domestic and International Affairs (IDIA), and Rutgers University.  The conference hosted high school & middle students from schools across New Jersey & Pennsylvania. The goal of the conference was to explore the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region with an emphasis on regional unity as a theme. Students worked with their committee members to debate and create solutions to current global issues, and they learned about a multitude of topics from “Evaluating Healthcare Systems in Conflict Zones” to “Creating a Free Trade Agreement for the Greater Arab Region.” 

Congratulations to the hardworking delegates of the Middle School Model UN Team, for a job well done at the PhilMUN conference!
