Ten cadets from the West Point Model United Nations Team traveled to San Francisco, CA to participate in the University of California, Berkeley Model United Nations conference (UCBMUN), with top-tier universities. With a star match against the United States Air Force Academy on the line, the West Point team found great success, with multiple individual awards leading, the Secretary-General's award for the Outstanding Small Delegation, and, of course, a Beat Air Force star. This conference, in its 22nd year, has won acclaim on the Model UN circuit as the most important MUN conference on the west coast. This was a fantastic opportunity to represent West Point to a group of students and future civilian leaders.
The committees at the conference involved in-depth debate about a wide variety of important international relations and political issues, including UN assemblies as well as regional bodies and historical simulations. The following cadets were recognized for their individual performances and contributed to the team's success: Jackson Armstrong, '18, Derrick Siebman, '18, Elizabeth Cross '20, Jake Stoffel '19, Amanda Horsey '19, Rokas Dubinas '18, Jack Chu '19, Nicholas Cunningham '20, Richard Delzell '20, and Cameron Hay '21.
