Many years ago, I, myself, was a Model UN delegate. In fact, my high school came to NHSMUN each year. To this day, I give credit to my faculty advisor, who has since become a dear friend, for getting me involved with Model UN, as it directly inspired me to pursue a career in foreign service.

Ambassador Jonathan R. CohenUS Mission to the United Nations

On behalf of all New Yorkers, I commend the students from more than 70 countries who have come together for this exciting convention. You demonstrate your commitment to leadership development in international affairs and will become the next generation of visionary leaders with the academic and social skills to solve some of the world’s most pressing and ongoing issues.

That’s why I commend you for being here at NHSMUN. You’ll use what you learn here in the real world; of this I’m certain — and sooner than you may think.
