DUDLEY, Massachusetts — Tyler Dunn of Mt. Vernon, a sophomore at Nichols College, attended the North American Model United Nations Conference at the University of Toronto, Victoria College campus, on Feb. 20-22. Model United Nations is a program that aims to build and maintain strong links between the UN and Model UN participants around the world by providing students hands-on experience through real-world issues simulated at conferences.

Dunn, who has a double major in international business and economics and a minor in political science, was recognized with the Outstanding Delegate Award. He encourages future students to take advantage of participating in Model UN. “If you are someone that likes problem-solving, working in a collaborative environment and enjoys debating policy, it is a very fun and rewarding experience,” he said.
