The 16th annual Herricks Model United Nations Conference took place on June 3 and 4 and involved delegates from Herricks and Garden City. Students participated in a wide range of committees such as the United Nations Human Rights Council, College Board, NYC Council and Sports Summit.
This year’s theme was ethics, with topics ranging from genetic modification to animal abuse to migrant children. Approximately 100 students helped make this conference possible, with 30 directors and chairs, plus 70 delegates.
