Model Congress Starts the Year Off Strong

Posted - 10/17/2019

Dalton hosted its 2019 introductory Model Congress conference for over 75 novice delegates from Dalton, Spence, and Trinity on Saturday, October 12.

The first Model Congress conference of the year introduced newcomers to the world of debate and the game of politics. Dalton school delegates had a strong start, winning more than a dozen awards in their respective committees.

Each delegate participated in government simulations with committee jurisdictions ranging from “Foreign Relations/Armed Services” to “Health Education Labor and Pensions/Education and the Workforce.” During the committee, students had the opportunity to hone their public speaking and critical thinking skills while also learning more about the important issues facing America today. The delegates drafted, presented, and debated bills in their separate committees, then joined together in a full committee session at the close of the day.

Organized by the heads of the Dalton Model Congress team, James Kuntz ’20, Nate Haberkern ’20, and Caitlin Monsky ’20, the conference boasted significantly higher signups than the previous introductory Dalton Model Congress conference two years ago. The high turnout from Dalton, which constituted almost all of the delegates present, marks an auspicious start to the year for the Model Congress team. The team is looking forward to bringing novices to the larger fall conferences at Princeton and Yale to defend its title of best delegation.
