Background: The award-winning BCPS-Towson University Model UN program was founded by Hugh Kearney, now a teacher at Carver Center, when he was a teacher at Woodlawn High School. The program was designed to provide more students with a Model UN program by reducing costs and increasing supports. The BCPS-Towson University Model UN will be held on Towson University’s campus on Friday, March 1, and Saturday, March 2, 2019.
