Roy student among outstanding diplomats of Cedarville University

Erin Mitchell of Roy is among 15 students from Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio, to receive the Outstanding Delegation honor in the Model United Nations international competition in New York City.

The Model U.N. event is an educational simulation where college students represent a United Nations member state. The students presented papers, drafted resolutions and served on committees as they attempted to solve relevant issues for their assigned country. Cedarville represented Myanmar, a country in Southeast Asia.

Mitchell, a political science major, and her teammates spent five days in New York researching Myanmar and preparing to mimic the country’s real U.N. diplomatic presence in the General Assembly and various other U.N. committees.
