Description

Participating in the National Model United Nations Assembly in New York is a rewarding experience. Participating in this conference required months of research, practice, fund-raising, and paper writing. During the week of the Assembly, participants had the opportunity to apply their findings to simulated international relations scenarios based on real world events and nations. The University of Alaska Fairbanks sent ten students to represent the University. These students were assigned as delegates representing Rwanda on the Security Council, and Chad on four General Assemblies (GAs), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). In recognition of the team’s efforts in researching their countries and committee topics, participating in their committees, remaining in character, and following the rules of procedure, the University of Alaska Fairbanks was awarded an Honorable Mention.
