Soka Students Excel at Euro Model UN Conference

Six Soka students competed at the Euro Model United Nations (EuroMUN) conference held in Maastricht, Netherlands, in May. The four-day conference featured about 500 undergraduate students from around the globe, including Indonesia, Pakistan, and Spain.

Soka students represented developing countries such as Colombia, and Myanmar, and more developed countries such as Spain. Each worked with an assigned committee, and as a delegation, Soka students participated in the committees of the World Health Organization(WHO), World Trade Organization (WTO), European Parliament, and Historical Committee on the Peace of Westphalia.

Soka MUN received two accolades: MacKenzie Kermoade ‘19 received Best Delegate award in WTO and Jett Pierce Facey ‘21 received Academic Excellence award in WTO. Although EuroMUN was their first MUN conference, Soka students had no problem being the core voices of their committee.
