The University Model United Nation student delegation of fifteen traveled to New York City for the 2010 National Model U.N. Conference this past week and won three awards.
The student delegation represented the two countries: El Salvador and Turkey, Dr. Marcus Stadelmann, department chairman of political science, said.
Over 4,000 students from over 300 universities and colleges attended with roughly 49 percent from foreign universities, Stadelmann said.
The delegation received its first “Distinguished Delegation” award in its fourth year in attendance.
The award is an honor only bestowed on 5 percent of the delegations.
The delegation also received an outstanding-position paper award.
The honor is only given to a select few delegations.
The delegation representing Turkey won the “Best Committee” award.
The delegates representing Turkey, Alina Dolzhenko and Kenisha Schuster, traveled to Turkey in the beginning of March with the University.
