WCC Undergraduate Consultants Compete in Florida Model United Nations Conference

Undergraduate students at NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) and NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC) consultants competed in the Florida Model United Nations (FMUN) conference, hosted by Santa Fe College in Gainesville, FL. on Oct. 11-12, 2019.

The Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) Model United Nations Team, sponsored by CAHSS, won the Distinguished Delegation Award for their answers during the debate. Genesis Alvarez (CAHSS & Farquhar Honors College) Legal Studies student, and Janay Joseph (CAHSS) History and International Studies student, both served as delegates for the Nova International Relation Association (NIRA) to represent South Africa in the General Assembly. Alvarez is also Vice President for the NIRA Executive Committee.

Topics discussed during the conference included economic globalization and sustainable transportation. During the debate, the delegates wrote resolutions and advocated for policies that matter the most to the assigned countries.

Joseph, a second year member of Model UN, expressed her gratitude for involvement in extracurricular opportunities at NSU, stating, “I feel like I had more of an expanding role in this year’s conference, since last year I was getting my feet wet in how the Model UN functions and how to represent my country. Through my work at the WCC, now I am able to help my fellow Model UN team members with their position papers.”
