On Friday Feb. 26, students of Jesuit’s Model UN Team attended the opening session of the YMCA Youth & Government Model UN Conference in St. Ignatius Hall.  While for the past five years the team has traveled to Baton Rouge to debate global issues, students this year participated online from campus.  Divided into the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and the General Assembly, the Blue Jays represented Ethiopia, Japan, Armenia, Vietnam, and the Czech Republic. They negotiated and debated resolutions to issues such as energy accessibility and sustainability, healthcare and poverty, and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam Conflict.
