Students earn Model U.N. awards
April 4, 2005
The Model United Nations team wrapped up the year with two regional awards at the American Pacific Coast Model United Nations conference in Los Angeles, March 31-April 3.
Second-year student Neema Barbod won a Research Award for his policy paper on Hungarian Foreign Policy for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. First-year student Frank
Gonzalez won a Distinguished Delegate Award for leadership as the representative for the Belarusian Commission on Narcotic Drugs.
The American Pacific Coast Model United Nations conference is one of five conferences sponsored each year by the Pan- American Model United Nations Organization.
Barbod plans to attend the University of California in September as a political science major. Gonzalez, who is also a political science major, has a strong interest in U.S.-Mexico relations and plans to attend an eastern college.
The Irvine Valley Model United Nations is a perennial national award winning team, competing against squads from Harvard, Stanford, West Point, U.C.L.A., and others. The team’s advisor, Stewart Frame, has run the program for six years. For more information, contact Frame at sframe@ivc.edu or at (949) 451-5452, x8075.
