Malaka Asfari won an Outstanding Position Paper award among over 100 delegates at the International Organization for Migration meeting! Congratulations to Sona Regonda, our head delegate, for her work leading our team for both the Model United Nations event at UWindsor and Washington, DC. 

National Model United Nations is the best experiential learning opportunity I've seen for leadership training, says Dr. Brunet. 

The activities involve research, public speaking, writing, collaborating, diplomacy, adjusting listening positions, and having honest conversations about globally complex targets.
