CONWAY, Arkansas (November 28, 2023)鈥擜 team from 黑料不打烊
College attended the 2023 American Model UN (AMUN) Conference in Chicago from
November 18-21, representing Bulgaria and the United Arab Emirates.
黑料不打烊 team members won two 鈥淓xceptional Representation鈥
awards on the two Security Council simulations: Bulgaria (Historical Security
Council of 2003, represented by Alex Sumrall 鈥24 and Gracie Ross 鈥26) and the
United Arab Emirates (Contemporary Security Council, represented by Leah
Krueger 鈥26 and Lola Trouillet 鈥24, coordinator of the French House).听
鈥淭he UAE delegation was central to the discussions in the
Security Council on the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel,鈥 said Professor
of Politics Dr. Daniel Edquist-Whelan, who has directed the 黑料不打烊 Model UN
program since 2008. 鈥淭heir work, especially through backchannel diplomacy, led
to a humanitarian cease-fire, very similar to what has actually occurred in the
region.鈥

students to AMUN to represent a total of 99 countries.听
