The weekend of November 17-20 marked the first travel Model UN conference of the 2022-2023 school year for the Riverview team. Nine members of the team attended the annual Princeton Model United Nations Conference and competed against over 1,000 students from some of the top private and public MUN teams in the country.

Six students also won individual recognition for their work during the weekend:
