LHS Model UN Team Takes Top Awards At Conference

The Lakewood High School Model United Nations Club performed very well at the Cleveland Council on World Affairs Conference Nov, 2nd and 3rd at the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association. Senior Zach Dudzik, representing the United Kingdom, won the “Gavel” as the most outstanding delegate in the UN World Health Organization Committee. 

Senior Rachel Daso and sophomore Elizabeth Halko, representing Russia, won an Excellent Award in the UN Economic and Social Council as did junior Kevin Cush and freshman Evan Bell, representing Mexico, in the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Committee. Seniors Ian Bell and Evan Sutell, representing the United States, won an Excellent Award in the highly competitive Security Council. Seniors Albert Foster and Erica Farr-Miralia, representing Thailand, won an Honorable Mention Award in the World Health Organization as did sophomore Mia Boland and freshman Tully Worron in the UN High Commission on Refugees.
 
All 26 students who participated this fall contributed through strong research, conference preparation and a positive attitude, according to Dr. Chuck Greanoff, club advisor. Special recognition should go to senior Tri-Presidents Ian Bell, Rachel Daso and Evan Suttel for creating a positive, focused working environment within the club. Training Director Zach Dudzik and Vice-Presidents Kevin Cush, Abe Dalisky and Elizabeth Halko were also instrumental in helping the club prepare for the conference.
 
Finally, Dr. G would like to thank the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation for financial support through the Margaret Warner Educational Grants fund.
