Twenty LC students will be traveling to New York City to take part in the National Model United Nations simulation April 4-9 with Dr. Sabita Manian, associate professor of international relations. The LC delegation, which is enrolled in a UN politics course, will represent Bangladesh.
Nearly 4,000 students from colleges and universities around the world will be attending from such countries as Mexico, Iraq, Japan, Italy, and Germany. Prior to arriving in New York, each team is given a country to represent.
The simulation involves both written and face-to-face debates with other countries to discuss global issues. The simulation also gives students the opportunity to develop skills in negotiation, deliberation, and bargaining. The students will be engaged in diplomacy and persuasion, consensus building, and conflict resolution.
