"I decided to start the debate team after attending a Public Forum Debate Camp at Harvard. I had always had an interest in debate after I saw the movie The Great Debaters. I felt that the Thayer community could really use another outlet to exercise the analytical and persuasion skills that develop through public speaking." - Jocelle Marius '16
What sets model UN committees apart from other sporting or academic competitions is that there is a great deal of teamwork and collaboration involved. Students are placed in an environment where people come together, overcome their differences, and solve global challenges. This is what makes this program so special.Jackson Humphreys '20
