C-Prep Students: World Advocacy



Capital Preparatory Magnet school joined more than 700 of their colleagues from across the state this past weekend as delegates to the annual Model United Nations Plenary Session, sponsored for more than 60 years by the World Affairs Council of Connecticut.

The Model U.N. is a simulated meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in which student teams, each representing member nations, meet and discuss ways to resolve the most pressing issues occurring around the world.Participants research their countries, take on roles as diplomats of those countries, investigate international issues, debate within parliamentary rules and procedures, consult and develop solutions to world problems, and ultimately they vote on those solutions.
The Capital Preparatory Magnet School team represented Germany and Norway and had the largest contingent from the Hartford school district - here are our list of students:
Daniel Augustus, Jazmine Alicea, Miguel Badillo, Monifah Baltimore, Marquise Clarke, Emma Knauerhase, Nashaly Olivieri, Joseph Priester, Cassandra Spann, Madison Vidal, Cole Zajack, Haddiyyah Ali, Ashli Beamon, Eric Bergen, Ilhan Braxton, Shawn Hilton Bush, Janay Diaz, Lakisha Malave, Chad Hill, Aleyah Seabrook, Emmett Riddick, Ronald Watson, Vanessa Williams.
