The Riverside Community College District’s Model United Nations team had remarkable success at the National Model United Nations conference held in Erfurt, Germany.

 

Twelve students from the District undertook a diplomatic mission, representing their academic institutions in a gathering that convened with over 200 students worldwide. Divided into two delegations, six students each represented India and Malta in committees addressing global concerns, including the General Assembly, Human Rights Council, UN Environment Assembly, and Security Council.

 

The team ultimately earned accolades for their outstanding performance. The Malta delegation secured the prestigious Distinguished Delegation award, with Nicholas James and Lexi Blair receiving individual recognition as Outstanding Delegates in Committee.

 

 

The India delegation received the esteemed Honorable Mention Delegation award, highlighting their commendable efforts in addressing critical global issues. Notably, Sonia Rana and Andrew Farah were awarded an Outstanding Position Paper award for their exceptional written contributions.

 

The six team members — Natalie Strain, Melisa Nguyen, Jordan Moreno, Gregory Burchett Jr., Rana and Farah — also received Outstanding Position Paper awards for their policy papers submitted before the conference.
