When students in the Model
UN program traveled to New
York they learned about
international relations and
student involvement
Many students enter
McMurry with the hopes of
finding out what they are
meant to do with their lives
McMurry offers many pro-
grams that put the students
in real world situations in
hopes that they will find
their niche
One such program is the
Model United Nations
which just returned from an
eight day stay in New York
where they attended the
National Model United
Nations Conference
The fifteen students par-
ticipated in a variety of dif
ferent parts of the conference
Like the real United Nations
the students were broken up
into committees with one to two
people on each committee with
each committee having dillerent
topits and issues to discuss
