Law’s Model U.N. class recently went on a trip to New Haven for a U.N. conference. Advocate Sports Editor Maeve Rourke spoke with Model U.N. Club president Jordan Negron about the trip.

Maeve Rourke: What was the purpose of the class trip?

Jordan Negron: The purpose of the class trip is to create students who have a better understanding of international relations. At the same time creating empathetic learners who know how to effectively and comprehensively solve international issues through the viewpoints of other countries.

MR: What was your favorite part of the trip?

JN: My favorite part of the trip would have to be the last day of our committee sessions where we finally put together our written up resolution which is essentially like a legal bill. It has a preamble and multiple clauses that answers the topic we focus on in committee session

MR: What did you personally do on the trip?

JN: Being a participating student on the trip, my job is to go to the committee session that we have every day vote on which topic we will be talking about. We then help the committee in writing a resolution and debate our country’s view of point that solves the issue being presented.

MR: What type of skills has participating in Model U.N. taught you?

JN: Participating in Model U.N. has taught me fantastic cooperative skills and public speaking skills due to the fact that we work with international students from different countries and speak in front of our committee which is anywhere from other students.

MR: Did the class do any other fun activities while you were in New Haven?

JN: The whole class went to Shake Shack on the first day for dinner together.
