VSU模拟联合国在国际比赛中获得第二名

VALDOSTA - The VSU Model United Nations team placed second in the National Model United Nations Conference held March 20-24 at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, New York, N.Y. The talented team competed with approximately 2,500 students representing universities from around the world and received a “Distinguished Delegation” award for placing second within the top ten percent, which were awarded. 弗吉尼亚州立大学代表伊朗，这是一个复杂的地区，英文资料很少；因此，这个奖项是一个伟大的成就。“这绝对是惊人的，”学生事务副校长库尔特·凯普勒博士说。“They have done superb in the program this year as well as in the past.” Because the opening and closing sessions, as well as the final day, were held in the General Assembly of the United Nations, students had the chance to observe and actually vote at the assigned seats of the delegation they were representing. 今年是特别的一年，因为联合国安理会将在闭幕式上讨论伊朗问题。20多年来，模拟联合国项目一直是弗吉尼亚州立大学校园机会的一部分。它在政治学教授卡罗尔·格伦博士的监督下，在政治科学系下运作，促进对国际关系领域的了解和爱博体育。该项目为学生爱博体育提供了一个机会，让他们在“模拟”联合国会议中扮演不同的代表团，并在“模拟”委员会（如经济及社会理事会或安理会）中分配成员。学生们练习外交、谈判技巧，并实际写“决议”和“报告”，试图解决他们指定的委员会正在讨论的话题。The VSU team has seen past success. 2006年，该队获得杰出代表团奖，并于2005年获得第三名的荣誉奖。除了参加国际会议外，VSU MUN还参加秋季的南部地区会议，并在春季在VSU举办高中会议。
