Model U.N. Conference Draws 500 High School Students

April 6, 2008 - 11:00pm
By Elizabeth Krevsky

The time was 12:00 a.m. Atlanta was just bombed and Fidel Castro assassinated. You are representing the U.S.S.R. What do you do?

This “midnight crisis” was only one of the many hypothetical diplomatic challenges that faced high school delegates at the 7th Annual Cornell Model United Nations Conference at Cornell this weekend.

Hosted by the Cornell International Affairs Society, the conference drew 500 students from 30 different high schools, including Ithaca High School, Lansing High School, Watkins Glen High School and two international delegations from South Africa and Hong Kong.
