Ten students from Trident Technical College participated in this year’s Harvard National Model United Nations in Boston. More than 3,000 delegates from the United States and 37 countries attended to discuss issues at the forefront of international relations.

TTC students spent four days debating, collaborating, brainstorming and developing resolutions in this simulation. Topics included terrorism in Africa, maritime security, public-private partnerships, sovereignty and the right of intervention, free and fair elections, child soldiers and bioterrorism. The TTC students represented the Republic of Liberia. Elizabeth Casto received Honorable Mention recognition.

To become a team member for Trident Technical College, students wrote an essay, presented a brief topical speech and participated in weekly meetings that required extracurricular academic readings.
