Model UN Opportunity @ Duke! - Our CHS Model UN club has an upcoming conference at Duke University that has a few open spots left that we are trying to fill. If you are unfamiliar with Model UN but are interested in global topics and politics/government, this would be a great opportunity to get your feet wet! This opportunity would include missing 1 day of school and would also have some financial cost to you. NON-club members have an opportunity to participate for only $40! You also would be working in pairs -- so it would be very low-pressure :) Here is a link to the schedule for the conference! If you are even a little interested let Mr. Schendt know! We are having a meeting tomorrow during A-lunch in my room as well, so feel free to stop by!
