Adapting to changes is not easy. In this pandemic, we've probably made more changes that we expected in a year that we may even thought possible in five or ten. Being forced online, we adapted. We formed a circuit of schools and organized ourselves to allow our students to not miss out on the experiences of MUN. Our students adapted well at Edison. We ended up with eleven gavels, over half the committees and collected 68 awards. However, the more impressive thing was just to listen to their content-filled speeches. I think while style still plays a role, substance is definitely going to be even more important, which is a great thing. Hopefully this means that students will focus on preparing more so they do have the content needed, as every conference will be a challenge, with the best MUN schools in the area in conferences every month. We organized our calendars today which stretch out into May and today it was nice to realize that aside from the amazing experiences of soaking in the experience of the cities we visit, the students can at least get the interaction and experiences of a Model UN conference. While I don't want to stay this way forever as it adds another 12 hours or more of screen time over the weekend, for now, it's been one of the successes of the pandemic. Great job to all of our students, I am so proud!
