Seven students participating in the Korean American Coalition (KAC, led by President Eunice Song) Model United Nations program won awards across five committees at the 34th BruinMUN conference held at UCLA on November 7-8. A total of 32 delegates were dispatched by KAC to the event, which drew around 2,000 students from across the country.
Grace Song and Olivia Kim, participating in the competition for the first time, won excellence awards in the UNESCO committee. Helena Lee received an honorable mention in the 2028 LA Olympics theme committee, and Annette Ahn received an honorable mention in the influenza pandemic theme committee. Joy Tsai and Rachel Choi won commendation awards in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), while Isabella Kwon received a research award in the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF).
Lead teacher Mindy Lee shared, “I am proud to see the students grow through this process of exploring various international issues, confidently presenting their thoughts, and cooperating with others.”
The KAC Model United Nations team also previously won the Best Delegation Award at the “SageMUN” conference held at Pomona College last month.
Meanwhile, this program is operated with the support of the Neil Foundation, the Dwight Stuart Youth Fund, SoCalGas, and anonymous donors.
