Model UN Team Wins Top Award

For the 11th straight year, the Alma College Model United Nations team has captured the top award at the National Model UN Conference.

Competing in New York City March 20 through 25, Alma student delegations representing Algeria and Fiji each received “outstanding delegation” recognition. This is the 11th straight year that at least one Alma student delegation has been awarded the top honor and the sixth time in seven years that Alma has had two “outstanding delegations” at the national conference.

Alma’s two delegations also received “outstanding” recognition for the quality of their written submissions. In addition, six students received “outstanding” recognition for their individual accomplishments.

“The Alma students had the best performance of any school at the conference,” said Derick “Sandy” Hulme, faculty advisor. “It was the finest performance of any Model UN Team that Alma has had and the finest performance I’ve seen in 15 years. What is remarkable is that this is the youngest team we’ve ever had with two 10 freshmen, 10 sophomores, seven juniors and four seniors. So the best is yet to come.”

Alma has claimed 18 “outstanding” delegations at the national conference in the last 13 years.

The national conference is the largest and most prestigious collegiate Model UN competition in the world, with 4,500 students competing on behalf of more than 270 colleges and universities from 31 countries.

Model UN attempts to replicate the real United Nations in a competitive manner. Teams of college students take on identities of countries, and delegates from each country meet in committee to propose, discuss and debate topics ranging from finance to refugees to AIDS. Once resolutions are completed in committee, they are presented to the Model UN replication of the UN General Assembly to be further debated before the assembly votes on resolutions.

Jim Allen, Harbor Springs sophomore
David Bechtold, Idaho Falls, Idaho, freshman

I am the kind of hombre who passions to seek recent stuff. Right now I am constructing my personalized pv panels. I am doing it all alone without the aid of my staff. I am using the net as the only way to acheive this. I discovered a very brilliant website which explains how to create photovoltaic panels and so on. The internet site explains all the steps needed for solar panel construction.

I am not exactly sure bout how accurate the data given there iz. If some people over here who have xp with these works can have a peak and give your feedback in the site it would be great and I would highly treasure it, cauze I extremely lav solar panel construction.

Thanks for reading this. U people rock.
