Competing against schools as formidable as Harvard and UPenn, Hunter's Jared Greenfield came away with a Honorable Mention Award for his role in the committee, Allied Supreme War Council: San Reno Conference 1920. Lauren Vriens, acting as Rex T. Shelby in the committee, Enron's Board of Directors in 2000, was given a Verbal Accommodation.
“They really did an excellent job representing Hunter,” said Professor Pamela Falk, the team's academic adviser and “war room” correspondent at the conference, “I'm incredibly proud of them.”
Due to the small size of the committees, only half of the class attended Columbia. The rest of the students are expected to do as well in this weekend's Model UN Conference at Yale University.
“The Hunter College Team represents six of seven continents and has gained vital experience from competing at Harvard, CUNY and Columbia,” said Delegate Coordinator Raissa Dally.
“This is an incredible education,” said Vriens, a member of the HC Team who competed at Columbia and is an intern at the Council on Foreign Relations.
