MCC – Fall 2014 Model UN Course – We have Sierra Leone

Muskegon Community College will represent the West African nation of Sierra Leone at the 2014 Model UN Conference in Chicago at the Sheraton Inn Hotel and Towers November 22 to 25, 2014.  I am the professor, or more accurately the coach of Team Sierra Leone.

The course and trip to Chicago in November will be fun! And on the way we are going to learn a whole lot about the world.  Model UN has been around for awhile.  What it does is mimic the actions of the United Nations with college students from all over the United States.  Teams of approximately ten students each from various colleges represent each of the nation states at the U.N at the Chicago Conference.  Currently, 121 colleges are signed up to participate.  Take a look – these are the students who you will meet, live with, and debate for three days next November.   Minnesota and Maine, Texas and Arizona – and little ole Muskegon Community College – we’ll all be working together to awaken to issues of the world.
