The Staff of
MAMUN can scream, shout, write, email, and tell you all about how great
this conference is, but it may be better for our attendees to tell you in
their own words:
"I want to thank you and your staff for all of your assistance
and hard work putting this experience together. My students have been
visiting all day & talking about it. Today alone, I've had two
teachers come to me after school commenting on the good things they heard
from students...thanks for all you do to enrich students' lives." -Hillary
Baker, advisor, East Kentwood High School
"That
was one of the best organized conferences I have ever attended. Our
students had a fabulous experience and want to return. Congratulations on
a great job and thank you." -Debbie Burr, advisor, Rudolf Steiner
High School
“It
forces you to think on your feet. You
have to pull all of your resources and rack your brain.”
-Judy
Oldfield, student, Canton High School
MAMUN
is student-friendly. All
students are encouraged to participate…the staff does not hold
themselves above the students.” -
Angela Chea, teacher, Dexter High School
“It’s
a ‘hands-on’ activity, but it also allows students to step outside the
box and represent a different point of view.
Students gain a deeper awareness of the diversity in today’s
world and the need to compromise if peaceful resolutions to global issues
are to be found. My students
who participate always include MAMUN as one of the outstanding high school
experiences.” -Judy Bergeski, Director, School of Global Education,
Livonia
“Everything
I need to know in life I learned from MAMUN.
I learned to debate peacefully, to argue reasonably, and to have
fun, no matter what.” –
Sam Williamson, student, Dexter High School.
“It
teaches the student that everyone’s opinion is important.” –
Jason Darby, student, Livonia Stevenson High School
“It
is very eye opening to see what the rest of the world’s political
situation is like.” –
Andrew Oswell, student, Plymouth Salem High School
“Students
really come alive at Model UN. The
self-confidence they bring home with them transcends into the
classroom.” - Nancy Thursam, English teacher, Livonia Stevenson
High School.
“MAMUN
allows students to think critically and solve problems.
They learn the benefits of compromise and tolerance.” –
Tom McCarthy, Social Studies Teacher, St. Ursula Academy.
“I
thought the comradery among all the delegates from all the different
schools was great.” -
Matt Quigley, student, Livonia Stevenson High School. "The
Conference was wonderful! My students could not stop talking about what a
great experience they had throughout the conference! I was very impressed
with the overall organization of the conference as well as the friendly
and helpful members of your staff. The leadership abilities of your
staff allowed for my students to observe, and interact with the other
delegates, while learning some of the basics regarding Model UN."
-Angela Calcagno, advisor, York High School.
