Model UN

 Once again Dr. Katy Crossley-Frolick’s United Nations and World Problems course attended the annual Model United Nations simulation in Chicago over Thanksgiving break.  This year the class represented Pakistan.  Class sessions prior to the simulation as well as extensive research helped the team prepare for the event.  The team spent three days proposing, debating, and discussing world issues from the perspective of Pakistan.  They simulated a variety of committees and commissions including: the Disarmament and International Security Committee, the Economic and Financial Committee, the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the International Court of Justice.

Students representing Pakistan: Sara Bencic ‘11, Max Bock ‘12, Joel Brown ‘12, Hannah Bucher ‘13, Sophia Chen ‘11, Matthew Coglianese ‘11, Sarah Colburn ‘13, Leyla  Falhan ‘13, Lilla Grisham ‘13, Malick Guisse ‘13, Marianty Mavros ‘13, Divyangana Morarji ‘12, Prashant Reddy ‘13, Sean Redmond ‘11, Ian Rummler ‘13, Mary Schaefer ‘13, Victoria Sterns ‘12, Kyla Taylor ’13 and Cole Wilson’ 13.

Special thanks to past-participant Erin Saul ’11 for serving as the Head Delegate and Dr Mike Brady for accompanying the team to Chicago this year.

Congratulations to Sophia Chen ‘11 and Matthew Coglianese ’11 for winning the outstanding delegation award for Exceptional Representation of Pakistan in the Historical Security Council.
