In spring of 2015, 12 members of Model United Nations (Model UN) represented Timor-Leste (East Timor) at the National Model United Nations (NMUN-NY) in New York City. These members visited the United Nations Headquarters and the Permanent Mission of Timor-Leste to the U.N.
For student in Model U.N., they represent positions and values of an assigned country in which they also adhere to official protocols when speaking, negotiating and drafting resolutions.
“We hear about all these scary things going on all over the world and, though we don’t always understand everything about them, we are quick to take very simplistic positions on very complex issues,” said Marko Petric, President and Head Delegate of Model U.N.
“It is our job to represent the school and make a name for ourselves amongst the competition, so we prepare extensively for the conference,” said Chad Allen, Vice-President of Model U.N.
The members of Hood College’s Model U.N. are Chad Allen (‘17), Andela Golemac (‘17), Abigail Jines (‘18), Lydia Jines (‘17), Léa Marot, Kyle Oakes (‘16), Marko Petric (‘16), Nailah Russell (‘18), Tyler Shuck (‘17), Sophie Smith (‘18), Ivana Soce (‘16) and Maja Tavra (‘15).
