THE PULSE | SPRING 2026 ISSUE
HARVEY’S MODEL U.N. MOMENT The Harvey Model United Nations (U.N.) team has been working hard attending conferences and building their skills. The team learned all about how the United Nations works in order to prepare for their committees. Whether it was their first conference or their seventh, the delegates worked together to perform their best. Head Delegates Logan Kreisberg ‘26 and Lena Boyce ‘26, both members of the team since their freshman years, bring their enthusiasm to each meeting. Whether it is a presentation on parliamentary procedure, crisis committees, or position papers, Logan and Lena always ensure both new and veteran delegates learn something each session. Faculty advisor Ms. Falcon, with assistance from Ms. Munoz, guides the team through all trips, and sessions.
By Ana Failla Working to improve each member’s individual abilities is one of the main goals of the Harvey Model U.N. team. Students who participate on the team learn to be better public speakers and communicators, and they build their confidence as leaders. The cold weather never stopped our dedicated delegates; right before the massive snowstorm at the end of January, Harvey made the trip to Philadelphia to attend their first conference of the year. The team attended ILMUNC hosted by The University of Pennsylvania. All delegates excelled. Harvey started their season off with a bang, winning three accolades during their time at ILMUNC. Sofia Solares ‘27 and Madi Watson ‘27 received Outstanding Delegates, Summer Jarbath ‘26 and Talya Langer ‘26 received Verbal Commendations, and Jack Zimmerman ‘27 also received a Verbal Commendation. To round out the year, the team attended the prestigious NAIMUN conference hosted by Georgetown University. Located in the heart of Washington DC, the team had fun experiences along with their fierce competition. On the second day of the trip, the team made a visit to The Supreme Court of the United States, which was truly a once and a lifetime occasion.

Dylan Coughlin ‘27, a new member of the team this year, said that participating in Model U.N. has helped her gain more independence. Dylan said on how the team’s meetings prepared her to speak publicly in front of a room of people, just one of the many skills members gain from the team. Model U.N. trips are not all work, though. Trips are filled with fun memories and outings in the local areas. Dylan, for example, commented on how enjoyable it was to go out to dinner at Chili’s with friends from Harvey and her committee. Trips with the team not only give learning opportunities but social ones, as well; with thousands of teenagers all in one hotel, it is nearly impossible to not make new friends! This year, Harvey’s Model U.N. team had great success, whether it was at the conferences or during weekly meetings. They worked together throughout the year and honed their skills to dominate in their committees.
Logan Kreisberg ‘26 and Sofia Solares ‘27 received Verbal Commendation. Summer Jarbath ‘26 also received Verbal Commendation.
