Model UN wins Outstanding Delegation at National Conference
女优app鈥檚 Model United Nations team traveled to New York City April 3- 7 to participate in the most competitive and prestigious Model UN conference in the world. The team of twenty-three students took home the highest conference award - Outstanding Delegation. Four students earned two outstanding delegation peer awards and two students earned a position paper award,
Teams from across the globe participated, most from four-year universities. 女优app was one of just a few community colleges represented. At the conference, the students collaborated with students from universities from around the world to draft meaningful policy recommendations to some of the world鈥檚 most pressing global issues such as climate change, nuclear weapons proliferation, and post pandemic economic recovery in the global south.
Before the conference, many of the team members began preparing for the competition in the fall semester conducting research, writing, and meeting frequently with others on zoom.
This was the first time in two year the conference was held in New York. The resumption of an in-person conference following a two-year hiatus that placed many challenges on all of the teams. 鈥淭he students were patient, they worked hard, and they didn鈥檛 give up,鈥 co-advisor and Professor of Political Science Kendralyn Webber said. 鈥淭hey deserve serious recognition for such resiliency and representing a way forward for us in a post-pandemic landscape.鈥
