Four Kroeger College students were front and centre when the Carleton United Nations Society won eight awards at the Queen’s University Model United Nations simulation (QMUN). The conference simulates the work of international bodies such as the UN Security Council and the African Union.
The Carleton team of 40 students won eight of the 21 awards at the competition – an unprecedented victory at QMUN. Carleton won four of the seven Best Delegate awards and four of the 14 Honourable Mention awards.
Of the four Best Delegate awards won by the Carleton team, three went to BPAPM students: Ryan Mitts, Ian Denhez and Dylan Cox. As well, BPAPM student Alex Kovalchuk won an Honourable Mention.
Participants included more than 150 students from six Ontario universities, including the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, the University of Ottawa, York University and Queen’s University.
The Carleton University United Nations Society is a student-run organization that strives to promote a better understanding of and appreciation for global affairs and the role of the United Nations. Established in 2003 as a model United Nations club, the society has since expanded its mandate to become Carleton’s premier international affairs association.
