How do countries navigate our world in the digital age? That was the theme at the 7th annual Capital Model United Nations Conference (CAPITALMUN), held on the Campus of Washington Adventist University on March 30-31, 2025. Students from public and private high schools from Maryland (Takoma Academy, Spencerville Adventist Academy, Highland View Academy, Montgomery Blair High School), Virginia (Shenandoah Valley Academy), Pennsylvania (Pine Forge Academy), and North Carolina (Fletcher Academy) debated a range of global issues during the 2-day conference.

This year’s career fair at Spencerville Adventist Academy (SAA) embraced the theme, “I Will Go,” echoing the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s strategic focus for the 2020–2025 quinquennium. With a mission to inspire students to utilize their God-given spiritual gifts in witness and service for Christ, the event transcended traditional career guidance by weaving purpose and faith into the fabric of professional aspirations.
