    Spring Conference @ UNI, Cedar Falls - April 14-15, 2016

    Spring Conference
    (from UNI website)
    Each spring, the Iowa High School Model United Nations organization hosts a large scale conference for high school
    students. This conference is held on the University of Northern Iowa campus. Students attending this conference
    model the procedure of the United Nations in New York City, but in a slightly modified format. While at this
    conference, students will work with their peers to draft resolutions on topics of international importance. Students
    will use the opinions and viewpoints of member nations of the United Nations to draft position papers, debate with
    their fellow delegates, and collaboratively construct a final resolution. IHSMUN Delegates show a high level of
    academic excellence and global awareness. Their resolve to create innovative solutions to international problems
    and dedication to diplomacy is essential in our interconnected society, and serves as a shining model for our policy
    makers of tomorrow.
