At the beginning of the Fall 2021, Champlain College MUN welcomed its biggest number of new delegates in its history.
Champlain’s team organized its own Model UN conference in the fall and also attended conferences hosted by Concordia, McGill, University of Toronto, Vanier and John Abbott College.
The delegation was awarded “Outstanding Large Delegation” at conferences in Toronto and at Concordia as well as many individual awards for members.
Rosalie Gauthier, a second-year student in Law and Civlization and the club’s secretary general, said that Champlain’s Model UN team was a big draw for her when choosing a Cegep.
The team’s leadership has put an emphasis on developing problem-solving and public-speaking skills and encourages the members to practice writing position papers, resolutions, and amendments as well as familiarizing themselves with voting procedures.
Gauthier said that it’s a pleasure to see members grow in skill and confidence over time.
“Sometimes they start shy, then at the end of the year, they are public speaking and winning awards,” she said.
