The West Point Model United Nations Club traveled to McGill University in Montreal, Canada, Jan. 25 and returned as America’s best MUN Club.

Recognized as "honorable delegation," runner-up only to the University of Canada at Calgary, the club competed against 120-plus universities from all over America, South America and Canada. Other universities at the conference included Harvard, Georgetown, Cornell, George Washington, William & Mary and Princeton.

During three and half days of United Nations simulations, the West Point delegation participated in committees such as the World Health Organization, NATO and the European Commission. Members of the club wrote UN resolutions, bartered deals and made speeches with more than a thousand other graduate and under-graduate students.

Cadet 3rd Class Seth Johnston was named Best Delegate, playing the role of Sir Winston Churchill in a historical WWII council. Cadet 4th Class Brian Montgomery was named Best Delegate in a Canadian government simulation.

"Everyone represented West Point well, demonstrating good character and powerful leadership in and out of the committee sessions," said Capt. Felisa S.A. Lewis, a professor in the USMA’s Department of Social Sciences and the officer in charge of the MUN club.
