Pace’s Model United Nations (Model UN) team won the distinguished delegation award and six team members took home awards for best position papers at this semester’s conference, held in New York City from March 29 to April 2. The distinguished delegation award is the second highest honor awarded by the conference. The number of individual awards was significant, since the club had issues gathering enough people this semester. Pace’s Model UN, led by political science professor Paul Londrigan, represented Canada, out of the 192 possible nations. “It was a particular trying semester, the student leaders in the organization know and understand it was a trying semester.” Londrigan said. “We had a very difficult time in terms of filling out each comity. It was a personnel issue, but we did end up winning distinguished delegation. I was very, very pleased.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 “MODEL UN”
