Twelve Hamilton College students traveled to New Haven, Conn., on Oct. 25-28 to participate in the 30th annual Security Council Simulation at Yale (SCSY). These students are members of Model United Nations, an organization that enables students to attend various Model U.N. conferences throughout the year. The purpose of the organization is to improve public speaking and writing skills while learning about the official U.N. procedures.
The participants in the trip were: Rachel Horowitz '09, Henok Alemayo '10, Kari Arneson '10, Zeynep Harezi '10, Roman Kolosovsky '11, Melissa Kong '08, Kunter Kula '11, Oscar Lied '10, Maria Lozada '11, Ryan M. Murphy '08, Amanda Pooler '08 and Anna Zeng '11.
The students served on small committees covering a range of topics, current simulations including the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the Security Council, historical and future simulations, such as the Future European Union and the Rwandan Genocide, as well as crisis committees such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Iraqi Constitutional Drafting Committee. On these committees, the students spent their time debating topics relevant to their committee and drafting resolutions in order to deal with the problems presented to them.
Model United Nations has previously attended conferences at Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and Montreal.
Model United Nations is funded by Student Assembly, the Levitt Center, and the Office of the Dean of Diversity and Accessibility.
