Milwaukee, WI –Divine Savior Holy Angels High School (DSHA) was selected to attend the Harvard Model United Nations 2004, from December 9-12th. The delegation from DSHA will include 19 students who will represent Panama, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a Non-Governmental Organization. Participants include Claire Prieto, a senior from Grafton; junior Emily Risser and senior Clare Barrowman-Casey, both from Wauwatosa; sophomore Ebony Johnson, juniors Asha Gupta, Sarah Puchalski and Yasmine Abdul-Raheem and seniors Jacqueline Coffaro, Anna Mills and Jesse Kadjo, all from Milwaukee; junior Caitlin Patrick and seniors Catie Bonesho and Ann Marie Brobson of Brookfield; juniors Vicki Graf and Meg Fabiszak from Waukesha; Megan Banner, a senior from Elm Grove; Nora Sheehan, a sophomore from Whitefish Bay; Christina Morse, a senior from Colgate and Molly Kriva, a sophomore from New Berlin.
Over two thousand high school students will convene in Boston, Massachusetts, to participate in the 52nd session of the Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN) Conference, a four-day simulation of the United Nations. Each school will represent a member nation of the United Nations and engage in debate on the most pressing issues on the international agenda. Participants must quickly discern the facts of the issue at hand as well as the opinions of their fellow delegates, and then convincingly portray the interests of their country in both formal speeches and informal negotiations. As they work to craft a resolution or directive, delegates learn the necessity for compromise and consensus in international diplomacy.
