Social studies Brian Vagts is the sponsor of the Model United Nations club. Recently, the club went on their annual trip to the William & Mary High School Model United Nations Conference to compete with other schools from around the state and country. Vagts resurrected the club from its former shambles several years ago, and now leads the club to success.
When did the Model United Nations club begin going to WMHSMUN?
This is our third year, so about in 2009. We used to go to VAMUN at UVA. Before that Model UN didn’t really exist.
What is your favorite part about being the MUN club sponsor?
I don’t really know, I consider this part of my ongoing plan for world domination. But really, I like the application of history to modern times and how things trend over time to work towards the future… also world domination.
Were you satisfied with the performance of your delegates at the conference?
Oh yeah, we do well for the preparation level we put in. Would I like us to do better? Of course, but we run a fairly mellow ship here, and I think that’s fine. We have fun with it.
