ÇàÇà²ÝÊÓƵ High School students took a world view of possible responses to COVID-19 at virtual Model United Nations conference they hosted on Saturday.
Joining the ÇàÇà²ÝÊÓƵ High students to contemplate the issues were 22 students from Guilderland High School, Shaker High School and ÇàÇà²ÝÊÓƵ Academies.
Students assumed the roles of representatives from 14 countries in the U.N. General Assembly to formulate an international response to COVID-19; they also formed a crisis committee of New York and U.S. officials to grapple with COVID-19 in metropolitan New York City. Both groups came to consensus on resolutions on their subjects.
ÇàÇà²ÝÊÓƵ High participants included junior Sarah Bearden, sophomore Mandy Berghela, senior Amelia Colafati (who organized the event), sophomore Ingrid Colafati, junior Edith Derosa-Purcell and sophomore Jena Rubi.
Rounding out the ÇàÇà²ÝÊÓƵ High contingent were Model UN adviser Leah Evans, and alums Jacob Citone ’17 and Jennifer Powell ’19, who were moderators.
