Students participate in the program as part of Professor Noah Zerbe’s Model United Nations course (PSCI 376) in the Department of Government and Politics.
Humboldt State’s Model UN program has grown to represent five countries in just its second year of existence, making it one of the largest conference participants. At the five day conclave in April, HSU students represented Canada, Jordan, Italy, Nicaragua and Tanzania. Contestants debated contemporary international issues and United Nations policy with more than 40 schools and 500 delegates from the Western United States, Canada, the Philippines and Russia.
Participating were: Ryan Walsh, Jonathan Linton, Sarah Daniels, and Nicole Quinn (representing Canada); Andrew Bond, Norma Clements, Jesus Solis, Michael Lockary, and Desiree Woods (representing Italy); Willie Shubert, Kienan Parr, Carly Hanssler, and Jack States (representing Jordan); David Bording, Andrew Bevington, Alan Chesbro, Richard Caccamo, and Jessica Martella (representing Nicaragua); and Cara Brannon, Jessica Ponsano, Carol Hurley, Adam Wolter, and Kaitlin Borstelmann (representing Tanzania). The course will be offered again in the Spring 2009 semester.
